My Skin Is Not Me

Who told you that black is a logo of slaves And white is a logo of masters A book is not judged by its color But racism convinces us that one color should be free And another should be caged Who told you that white is beautiful And black is extremely ridiculous When we were created in God's image Not one less But racism teaches that black or white is not a brotherman Who told you that white shirts are better than black Or black shirts are better than white For racism has schooled our membranes Sadly, we live to hate each other bitterly Not knowing that God is black and also white Who told you that black is inferior And white is superior Every color is unique Not one less None is greater than the other But racism is still teaching doctrines of separation A white against a black It is God against God Why should separate our colors Neither white nor black is greater We are all the same United we stand, divided we fall My skin color is not me My character is me My intellect is me My action is me But my color is not me
