Beautiful Scars Poet Couplet

What Is White

Are times really getting better with race and nationality?
Is there ignorance in color with unwarranted rationality?

My hope is that yes, we have tried to come to understand, 
just because you’re white doesn’t mean you have the upper hand.

Attacks on personal preference of what music you enjoy, 
or choosing based on race who you wish to employ.

We are all created out of love and should live in harmony, 
living in a world where there is complete equality. 

I don’t think there is a dominant color of more importance, 
and we should concentrate on whether we live in competence. 

Some fear other races due to crudeness and ineptitude, 
or just plain being unfamiliar with culture and being rude. 

To me the color white is just a skin color that is worn, 
we should all show compassion for the race that we were born.
