Black and White


If color did not exist

Would people still be judged?

Would it be oh you’re too gray?

What if “color?”

The world itself never existed?

What if the knowledge of being different was never obtained?

 

Color creates distinction

It is what allows things to be different

It allows people to choose favorites

But different is suppose to be unique?

 

Yet it is looked down upon

They suppress those of darker tones

They claim equality

But what is equal?

The stereotypes, the actions?

You disagree, you’re gone

You now become an outcast like the rest of all
