Walk With Me.

You look at me like an outcast
Mark me because the color of my skin
Persecuted me without fear or judgment
I am a shadow of your own perception.

Equality has no witness
And your arrogance hurts me more
I have to passed your rooted standard
Although; my presence causes you bitterness

I beg you to walk with me
And search my quest and odyssey in time
And maybe you will find yourself 
In my dwelling house of pain

In my path you will find
Many dictators with hurtful heart
That had caused pain and fear
In many innocent life


Come and crawl underneath my skin
And tell me, How you feel!
Are you surprise? Cause we are the same
 And yet not unified

the bitterness of race ... sad but true. the necessity for race or any other means of sorting is just plain ugly! in my world i only see "oneness of all mankind." please keep sending out your message, which is our message. thank you, chuck
