Shades: A Poem on Racism
When I learned about colors,
I also learned shades
When I learned about humans,
I learned that we are one
How We Answer
Should it be – that life be dictated, opportunity restricted, based on someone’s hatred?
Should it be – that a lighter skin colour be a determining factor for me to reach higher?
Equity is Justice
Black does not mean thug
Hispanic does not mean illegal
Asian does not mean virus
Brown does not mean terror
*B . L . M*
It’s like we are living in a house split into floors
Maybe we’d be good if we accept all our flaws
