Time For Peace

Why do you hate me I have never owned a slave Never used the "N" word Or discriminated against Anyone I am not a racist I was just born white Why do you hate me I have never committed a crime Never been violent Or discriminated against Anyone I am not a criminal I was just born black I am a man Just like you are a man Trying to live A peaceful life Stop and listen And help others Love one another Lets stop talking about color And start celebrating character The time for change Has come
