Color Schmers

Colour Schemers

Arab Traders excavated
Europe laid the foundation
The New World framed it perfectly
The rest of the races roofed it

This …
Inordinate economic concupiscence
Shadowy sham, animated by a violent passion
An extraordinary alteration

So… 
Nature convulses
Human dignity reduced to 
Colour: Black, white, brown, yellow

But …
The scale corrects itself
The clock resets
The scheme falls apart

Because …
There is only one humanity
It’s you. 
It’s me.
