The Absence of Color

What My Color Means To Me

The Absence of Color

To survive peacefully as a human race.

stop judging each other by the color of your face.

along with these colors come stereotypes

putting each other down

while believing your own hype.

instead of tearing each other down

let's lift each other up

there's enough food on this table

to fill everybody's plate and cup

but the portions given out

are minimal at best

trickling down to the rest of us

while the bigots hoard the rest

they actually think they are better

than everyone else because of

their color and because of their wealth.

truly blinded by the colors that they see

taking snowblindness to a whole new degree.

The Absence of Color is something they will never see.

because they can't see past their own hatred and bigotry.

So the focus for the rest of us is quite clear to me

The Absence Of Color will be the end of White Supremacy

and this country will have a true State Of Unity
