The Colour of My Skin

My skin colour
what does it say about me?
does it determine who i am
  who i want to be?
  i ask myself
is one's dignity,integrity,pride
based on their skin colour?

years have passed when our brothers and sisters 
had fought the barrier between the skin colour
but i question myself
 did they succeed
was what we as black skinned people wanted achieved?
      maybe we did
      maybe we didn't
     who knows,maybe you do because i don't.

my brothers and sisters 
still feel that we are still classified or categorized 
with our skin colour
it does not feel like a united world.

it could be the judgement of the human eye
but my brothers and sisters
still experience criticism,discrimination,judgement
if it had been different 
it wouldn't have been said
"a black man is always a suspect".........OR IS HE?
i question myself
will we ever be united and be one
and not feel that our skin colour determines who we are
because in my eyes it is not the skin colour that determines one's character
but it is their personality!
don't let my skin colour be a judgement source for you!!
