Just a Color
A TV might be blue or black
But when you turn it on it's not
There's a whole new world inside
Different than what you've got
A computer might be purple
Its keyboard might be grey
But it might not even work
The CDs might not even play
My friend might be purple
My friend might be black
But she's really no different
Except, well, she's good at track…
Her skin might be darker
Not the color of her heart
Her look is irrelevant
While she stands from us apart
Her skin tone shouldn't matter
It's why she's treated worse
They've even called her bad names
Her color is a curse
Like the computer and the TV
It's just an outer shell
What matters is what's inside
But some can't even tell
That she's an awesome person
Even though she's black
Her skin is just a color
Nothing does she lack
She's got all her manners
And is not violent
She is the sweetest person
Do you really think God meant
For his creations to be treated
In a horrible way like this?
When he gave us our diversity
He didn't mean for us to miss
The gift that He was giving
By granting us our difference
We've suddenly missed
All the benevolence
He's lavished on his people
And treated the races badly
So people with different skin
Are cared for so very sadly…
AN: What I mean about my friend being good at track, it's because she beats everybody else when she's out there racing … I'm totally jealous… just in case you didn't understand that part.
