On the Inside of the Racial Divide

Carbon, deep, deep black in one form Refracting light in another Symbols of energy and wealth Yet, still the same carbon on the inside Three handed creature Grasping hydrogen atoms, oxygen and themselves Forming the hydrocarbon chains of food stuffs Filling our bodies with the stuff of energy Powering the mighty engine that never stops till life's last breath Feeding through the inner pulsing red rivers the oxygen Absorbed from the ocean of air surrounding us all To keep alive the organs The inside of every human being Identical, indistinct.....one human from another Until coated in a skin Available in a variety of colors From white to red to yellow to black and all shades between And now we see a difference, where there is no difference. ALAS!
