I wish I could show you
The inside of me
I am so much more
Than a few pounds of skin
It sucks that you judge me because
Because I am colored
For God won't care about my outside
When he comes for me in the end
My friends call me white
Because I hate prejudice
I don't make racist comments
Or treat people like crap
But my friends must be colorblind
Because I'm just me
And if they can't see that
Then they've made no effort to close the gap

another good write. i live in alabama, and its still an issue. the only way for people to learn how to close the gap is at home. schools teach the history, they dont teach anything else. at home, its an avoided issue, so people just try to shove the issue aside. so if they can shove all the issues into the gap, maybe they can cross over it. |
