Segregated but I am still in the mix
Segregated but I am still in the mix
This is something we need to fix
Race should not be an issue
But it is for my clan
As a Man you forgot about the wonders of Grace!
You are the same colour as I am
But you would ram me into the wall
Hoping that I would fall
Your prayers

Segregated Shadows
Within the shadow of a broken heart,
Darkness decrees its penumbra of night…
Obscurity ovulates embryonic entrapment,

For the nightmares reign within the light…
The loneliness lingers upon the lions’ lament,
And the

And such actions I don't deserve;
Disheartened with day-to-day happenings,
Still Being normal see how I am acting;
The World believes I should shut my mouth,
And give pains whenever they want to take

Segregated Heartbeats
The rule makers declare us separated for eternity,
different race, clashing cultures, incompatible?
Borders cannot segregate our heartbeats.
Distance is a matter of physical entity.
We share the same sky and moonlight.
Love falls prey to diplomatic ramblings,
resulting in abomination of emotional upheavals.
Outlaws we shall become to our desires.
We paint with the color of our future offspring.
A universal appeal for
