Hurdles

...as you politely said please don't pay attention to the color of my skin but you keep shoving it in my face ...you keep filleting yourself and sewing your skin onto mine it doesn't fit-never will we're different but one and the same we came from the same seed but have different experiences I can never walk in your shoes because once upon a time you didn't have any. and for certain you can never walk in mine but we do have more in common than not. Our hurdles are of the mind now and growing by the second there are many that wish to destroy us by dividing us. The media is a nest of vampires and should be treated as such they feed off of our blood spotlight us at our worst and lowest for the sake of ratings nothing sells better than a race riot or blue on black crimes they need a stake to their hollow hearts.. If the vampires drain our humanity we'll be wearing the same yellow shackles then we can better walk in each other's steps, but what a horrible price to pay for mutual respect and understanding.
