Poetic Podcast Episode 10 Bop
The color spectrum’s made up of ebony
mixed with the warmth of a lustrous pearl;
Yet we’re still focused on our differences
instead of taking in a panoramic view;
Feeding energy into separation
how can anyone relate to one another?
Black and white are every shade of grey;
None of them are miscellaneous;
Letting some in forcing others out
painting with the word ‘Inclusion’;
But the truth inside the message
doesn’t really let us all belong
any longer;
Cast out over things you can’t change
left the misfit once again;
There’s never a seat with my name on it;
Black and white are every shade of grey;
None of them are miscellaneous;
Remember that it’s really very simple:
Our blood is always the same hue;
Believing anything else wastes time
and keeps us all lagging behind;
Every soul has the same value
despite what you see with your eyes;
Black and white are every shade of grey.
None of them are miscellaneous.
