The Plight of Albinos

Alas they as are born as albinos
What is more for them to undergo 
Though contracted in a bow of woe
Don't they also deserve to be known?

Now ask I where is the tie
That binds one being to another 
When one race lives high
And place inferiority on the other 

O what causes this shot of madness
To such a loving nature 
Could it be the habits of loneliness 
In which they take no pleasure 

When men mock the creator's scope 
Their imaginations becomes barren 
What image feeds desires and hopes 
When all they seek for is a reason 

In the bitterness of their wounded spirit 
Life becomes a channel of blur grace 
Why exist such scornful superiority 
From a different color race 

Now the tenderness of acceptance pass them by
For I dare to ask if it is a crime 
Must albinos forever in heart cry 
Since they exist from a different color line
