Racism

I have never felt your pain your deep, deep rooted agony Color we say is just that it shouldn’t make a difference But it does, doesn’t it to you, deeply to you within, without Your pain became part of life, excepted rolled in, lived in Identity is possibly everything to all of us, but your identity Pre judged I have never understood your dreams, your wants your story Of who you really, really are History wrote that thought for the world, and we just didn’t get it, don’t get it The pain, the ingrained attitude Of feeling less than Lower than, and never Equal!
