The Prism of Prejudice

White, brown, beige or black How does it matter? The rainbow even though purely white Uniting colors,shining bright Spectrum of seven it can scatter "Don't wear white,don't wear silver" "Don't go in the sun," Too dark or too pale,life isn't a fairytale Let the haters commit sins, in their own flames they'll burn Dark men are aggressive while light women feminine The end of the world has begun, 'Cuz "what's in a name"is so mainstream But "what's in a color" says none Stubborn fallacies, ingrained beliefs, Plastic people with phobia or fright Forget that the light and the dark Merge to make the best photograph; That the blood is always red while the bone is always white Don't let anyone dull your lustre Treat people right to have your back, Black,brow,yellow or albino Freckles still shine and melanin glow 'Cuz life is a chessboard where the king and queen are both white and black.
