Beneath us all is just a soul
Where the color of our skin, is untold

Why is their division by our skin?
If only we could look within?

We would see no color there
Just all organs everywhere

Then what is it that makes one better
Who is to say that one is greater?

How can color make a decision?
What if we all were with out vision?

We would not see the different colors
We would only hear the words of others

Why must we go by sight?
What is the significance between dark or light?

If only we all were blind
Then maybe we would focus on what’s deep inside.

wow!!!!!! you did an awesome job!!! the flow is great....the questions perfect........excellent.......

i just purchased a Life's magazine 100 photographs that changed the world........25 of them are shots depicting some damaging act to another human being .......all because of the color of their skin......we went so far as to use Eugenics in the 1890's ....."propensity for crime and or deviant acts" were determined by a person's physical charcteristics........genetics/ the way you look........ could get you hung......literally........it took the holocaust to destroy the credibility of eugenics........the way we treat other human beings is apalling..........all for what???????

A heartfelt and oft repeated cry. I have an answer for you in a poem I posted yesterday "Don't be too sure"
