We all bleed red

It makes no difference, we all bleed red,

If only this thought, we could embed,

What a beautiful world, of shades and hues,

Makes up our world, in spectacular views,

Why do we still, need this conversation?

Where skin is some kind, of separation,

Are we not all simply, human beings?

Filled with love, and other feelings,

One things for sure, when we are born,

No baby will show, division or scorn,

So why then is it, in our society,

This topic of colour, we are still not free?

See beyond the tones, and any pigment,

And join the world, in one commitment,

To treat each human, with dignity,

No matter what colour, their skin may be.
