~ A RACE OF SKINS ~

We don't see skin colour "they said", we're inclusive like that "they added",

But I'm afraid when I go to your parties or when I walk these streets that you say are ours but are really yours,

The unending race we've always had to run because of the colour of our skins and yet a few still don't see the problem because they have privileges as high as the Great Wall of china,

Even with all the hate the world has given us we stand tall, taller than your walls of privilege and supremacy,

We remain strong like that.

P.S
Travelling abroad has been an eye opener for me because back home I never had to worry about the color of my skin but you travel abroad and all of sudden it becomes a major problem,

Like the world didn't have enough of those already.
