The Upside Down

Tell me my friend what is the upside down Surely please do not frown Maybe the day saw night and took his crown So that darkness shall drown The lack of light is not a plight to me Funny as it may sound You judge me literally Because im black and brown The lack of sight you can not see Keeps me in view around Stereotypes and hypocrisy Landing on hatred ground Inside the atoms that dispersed A darker shade of brown You do your worse to say im cursed Because im black and brown The puzzle is a landing place Of hue origins found A map of gathered ground Of dark color abound The doves are beautiful The raven is the least With your blind eyes you look upon My color as the beast Sip slow the water from the well Be it lukewarm at best And never look upon my skin Akin of that of pest Its not to say with ego play Im better than the rest With human heart my friend I say His story checkered chess The puzzle is a landing place Of civilization found A map of gathered ground Portrayed the upside down
