Letter From Albinos

Dear murderers, You do not know how it feels to be like us The burden that sleeps in our hearts The abuse we are faced with society Where did we go wrong? Why segregation? When John 3:16 vomits love When we were told to be our brother's keeper When will freedom rack at our doors You do not know how it feels to be like us The sadness that directs our paths The flood that befalls our skins Where have we gone wrong? Why society? Why aren't you seeking to address our qualms? Why are you ignoring the cries of our voices? Did we blame our misfortunes on you? You do not know how it feels to be like us The pain that relaxes in our minds The frustration that throws us apart Where did we go wrong? Are we different? Aren't we made from the dust of the earth? If you do claim to love God Why do you hate us passionately? Hardship is our shelter Tears are crawling on our cheeks Oh society! Do we deserve being tortured?
