Open the Closed Window

The crimson blood colored invariable, flows free through every single heart, as the common ancient ancestor etched the footprints of humanity on earth. The shared lineage thriving insulated, splintered into diverse faction of races, physical traits got naturally typified, as melanin played with color on skin. Born human under one seamless free sky, equality pines behind veiled deprivation. The unkind history manipulates artificially the misplaced sense of partisan privilege. For those under the sky black clouds melt in the silent rain of unseen tears of agony, suffocate in the toxic air of apathy and denial, let’s open the closed window of human rights. ___________________ December 8, 2021 Contest : Human Rights Sponsor : Robert James Liguori
