You and Me

Who are you to speak
no one is perfect
your blantant dislike
for all that is me
angers me
I am not slime
I am me
Recognise that I am human
You are no better then me
the air that you breath is the same
so my skin is white
and yours is black
That makes me no better
it makes you no better
I feel not the least bir special
what difference does it make
to be so proud of a reality
that is not even important
you say I am racist
that is pot calling kettle black
I recognise that I do judge people
but you don't seem to recognise it in yourself
Until you realize that you are your own worse enemy
I have nothing to say to you
