Under the Skin

--In a world of color, what's in their names, in a spectrum of diversity, when underneath is the same, there is nothing to discover,, --Race is all of one, humanity to blinded to see, because everything is too superficial, being blinded, you're not free, believing humanity to far gone,, --Can you tell without skin?,- knowing we're built the same, illusions tougher than your reality, the racist groupthinker so lame, lowest form of collectivist stain,, --Who are you to say, that skin color is paramount?,- you're oppressed, or the oppressor, baiting skin color to amount, fermenting chaos that's on display,, --The blind, leading the blinded, where objective truths never seen, the hatred that's so cold, among the darkness in between, heart's darkest shadows so divided,, --Hope, the sliver of light, breaking through humanities inferior molds, the objective binding reason, that we all must hold, that we're one of might!
