IF

If
Racism a made-up word I wish I never heard
It matters not if I am red, yellow, brown, black or white, your judgement is
Wrong and your attitude is strong.
The wonderful things you miss out on judging me by my skin, I could be your closet
Companion, confidant and friend, but you will never know the heart beneath my color
And the amazing things we could teach each other.
IF
you would only be my brother.
