As a child you expect adults to act better than you.
But sometimes, they acts completely like a fool.
When many should stand up against they own.
Many pretends to act blind.

A child of color.
Don't matter which race.
Shouldn't be picked up.
Because of their skin tone.

History has shown.
Since the beginning of time.
That many that should have stood  up.
Simply, witnessed all kinds of wrong.

A child of color.
Doesn't ever learn hate.
Until they witness adults being a disgrace.

Some tries to justify their stupidity.
And they always seems to be the type.
Asking for forgiveness?
When they are exposed.

We all have family.
And a few friends too.
Who we know will never step foot in our house again?

A child of color.
Picked on because of their race.
Should never have to point out the bigots to their face.

Be you black.
Be you white.
Or Latino or Asian.
And Native American.
We all in someway is trying to reach the kingdom of heaven.
