Shades of a different color
Yet you don’t want to communicate
Because of color, you don’t want to even relate
The above skies spell fate
However, we all were put on this Earth to associate
This setting being what formed years ago called create
But Race is becoming a strong factor
One man with courage in being great and powerful wanted to make all of us change
It was Dr. Martin Luther King who wanted separation not remain
Yet as individuals we constantly complain
Freedom the outer world wants to change
But what happened when one opens their mouth?
Yes it all started in the Deep South
A world can’t live on Bread alone
It’s fellowship being togetherness and I am letting it be known
This just makes plain sense
However, the past is the past and I am keeping it in the present tense
Slavery is where Race all came in
It became a trend that continues today being a begin
Why is separation so important?
Why can’t be come together as friends not enemies?
Do we have to be foes?
The country is running on overdrive woes
The decree of freedom is exactly in what is says
Skin tone should be left alone
It is not necessary in letting it be known
Race hasn’t done you No wrong
But when you think of Pepper and Salt, an ingredient adding flavor
We should be just like Pepper and Salt and coming together being savor
Honestly, that is our true example of how all races should come together
We all are different from each other
But it is about friendship being to one another
America and the world, are you listening?
We must not break away, but have understanding every day.
