Why do we have disgust for dirt?
The simple thing that helps plants grow
Why do we say no to the black boy down the street?
And make him beg for forgiveness in exchange for his life
We say life is precious, but we **** those who we deemed unworthy
What's with the color brown that we associate everything with it as an abomination?
A color does not seem someone's worth and its not a personality
We say cops are the bad guys when in reality we all are
We search for equality, yet we separate ourselves from colored to white
And when the real war comes, all the faking of acceptance will come to an end and the guns will start rising
The equality that we all search for does not exist in a world as cold as this
But if we come together as people, no matter our color, we can bloom like Phlox and thrive no matter the weather
Let us accept the things that others deem useless, because there's always a worth, even in dirt
