To these pigments I am ignorant,
to these divides I say cave ’em in/
Tearing down these walls that divide us,
Instead open your mind and see the star stuff inside us/
In this day in age it’s become hard to trust the one beside us,
because of simple things like color and pigment that divide us/
looking for the truth in media but can’t find it, looking for news without any bias/
The same inside, color blind, it’s all about this modern interracial love we’ve come to find,
That to old white America was enough for prison time, cause to them unconditional love is a crime/
Even though the alt right sit in their pews, look at all the hate they spew, talking about this and that and picketing veteran funerals/
Yet they say love your neighbor, love your enemy, but to these people they hold bigotry/
They say look at his skin he’s a threat to me, if only they looked through my color blind eyes they could see/
How lovely life can be if we put down our bias and ego, let go of the pride and lets all be people/
Let’s be free, there’s no chaos in anarchy/
But the government would have you believe, we’d go back into the stone age without their money/
The federal reserve doesn’t discriminate, it only raises up the interest rates/
With the more money it makes, more from the people it takes, the more distractions the media creates/
Another bill is signed behind closed doors, away from prying eyes, to euthanize all the unwanted and dying under medical disguise/
look into the inner cities and you’ll find a murder factory, killing children before the baby could breathe or open their eyes/
Just think, that baby could’ve been you or me, or the doctor who could cure all disease/
Including this united divided empire country, that we call the land of the free/
It’s not the people who run this dirty green, it’s the environment created to divide you and me/
A people together, is a powerful people indeed, grown on US soil but the US has spoiled me/
Around the world chasing the oil, killing the people and making blood boil/
But see to me this all seems to lead to one thing, the utter destruction of what the new day should bring/
A gift of happiness and the rain of spring, a brighter future and victory hymns to sing/
we’ve won over our depression as a society, we’ve risen up and opened our eyes to see/
the world is ours and the human race is our label to be, no color to divide you and me.

This is a great post. Racism is something that has always been around. Something big is that people want to categorize people based on their skin color. For example Donald Trump believes that all criminals are either African Americans or Hispanics and that all Americans are good.

This post is very meaningful and i feel that it will have an impact on people lives. I truly believe that a your pigmentation does not define you. We all are living humans & We all bleed blood. our skin color doesn’t make us any different. i agree that we all have dreams and goals and we shouldn’t allow our skin color to stop us from fulfilling our aspiration. Great post!

THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN DOES NOT DEFINE YOU. Remember that always. We are all human beings with feelings, minds, hearts, hopes, and dreams. We all aspire to be something, we all crave affection and acceptance yet on thing seems to keep holing all of that back. One thing continues to skew peoples belief that we are all equal; Skin color. I never understood why.. Why does the color of ourselves define us? Why does me being black make me more prone to get stopped by police than a white man? Why is it perceived that if your Hispanic that your parents had to have gotten here via border jumping? Why do Asians have to be labeled as bad drivers? DO YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW WHY, BECAUSE I DO! and it none other than skin color, and that sickens me! WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS WITH RIGHTS AND FEELINGS. JUST BECAUSE WE LOOK DIFFERENT, SHARE DIFFERENT VIEWS, AND DO SOME ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES DIFFERENTLY THAT DOESN’T MAKE US LESSER THAN THE NEXT MAN OR WOMEN! AND I’M TIRED OF IT BEING PERCEIVED THAT WAY.

Wow! this a great post. We all have to work and communicate together to have a better Country. We don’t need to see what kind of color are the people because we all are the same. We all are humans. We all have the same rights not matter what kind of skin color we have.

I think no mater what is your skin color, the mater what is you mind and what is courage you have.
