Looking, Searching this world for explanations Not only explanations, But evidence As to why anyone would make someone feel diffident I have a strong opinion No ambivalence Really? Between two colors? Why do we have to look at anyone as an other? Because to me, that makes no sense. Put a penny and a dime together You'll have some cents See, as a team, we could even pay the rent But instead they had to wine They had to vent They had to feel like they weren't wrong Like they weren't the ones who are bent, Bent out of shape Who beats another human? It takes a beast to kill a race I guess they felt it was a disgrace To look into another persons eyes And actually put yourself in their place What if you were the one getting hit in the face? Ill never know the motivation Fearful that it isn't misplaced Looking, But never finding So the only thing we had left Was to put it in writing That's all I will have But honestly Who needs the reminding?
