racism

racism
Different skin
but no difference 
within
Different races 
All human 

No reason to blame 
Say no to shame
A world with many shades 
Don't be the one to throw the blades

They say 
Accept the hate 
It's just your fate
I don't want to
I don't need to 
So i don't let them 

Say it doesn't hurt to feel cool 
But it hurts 
Like grazing a knee
They put a bandage on to cover what they did
But its still there just disguised 
Stand up 
Speak out
Make a change
Isnt it beautiful that this 
world has such a range
