We all have flesh and bone
We have a spine that stands *****
10 fingers and 10 toes.
What difference does our color make?
Our plethora of tones?
How often do we cross the street
When a black one comes?
Ignore the coming thunder clouds
Ignore the coming storm?
Ignore those shot upon the street
Can you hear their groans?
How often do we look on race?
How can we atone?
When will we come out of sleep!
Wake up and see the sight!
You think you're kind... but you are blind!
In ignorance... in night!
Black lives matter! ALL LIVES MATTER!
Why do we have to fight?!!
Just because you wear a badge
Doesn't mean you're right!
What's all this that I hear about
A broken tail light?
I am named... I am ashamed
BECAUSE MY SKIN IS WHITE!!!

The other day I saw a young college kid (white) cross the street because he saw a couple of black kids coming his way. I know that's why he went on to the other side of the street. You can just tell that sort of thing, right?
And today I heard about the black man who was shot by a police officer. I don't remember how many times... Does it matter? Dead is dead. He was pulled over for a broken tail light. I just can't get over it. This sort of violence is going to create race riots. They've already started.
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, FOLKS! It'll soon be on your doorstep.
I'm frankly ashamed of the color of my own skin. And roles will be reversed. Watch and see if I'm not right.
There's only ONE race in God's eyes.
THE HUMAN RACE!
