The past cannot be changed. In order to form a better world, we must address every facet. Words are clumsy tools. But it is all we have. If you are listening to someone, and they mirror you. It still doesn't mean they are truthful. Once it was proposed, Is a Zebra an animal who is black with white stripes? Or white with black stripes?
I do not see beauty the same as you.
My eyes were raised differently.
What I perceive is of my growing up,
from youth to seniority.
However, if I say someone,
does not turn my head.
You accuse me of terrible things.
You want to slap me and squall.
However, I do not see beauty the same as you.
My eyes were raised differently.
What kind of nose do you find cute?
It may not work for me.
The color of the skin may be too pale,
or too dark.
My eyes were raised differently.
You have to give me some leeway,
not act enraged.
Then again, you may run with an earth-toned crowd.
Alternatively, one of all colors fused.
Moreover, refuse to understand.
It is not racism or bigotry.
It is a fact.
That my eyes were raised differently.
