The Classifieds

The Classifieds Have you ever been hated or discriminated against? Have you ever lost a brother, a father or even, a best friend? The emotions you feel I feel them too But why shall I be classified As something lower than you? Fear me not For I am only human Judge me by the content of my character NOT by the color of my skin A little girl shakes in fear at the sight of me I'm thinking to myself "why does this have to be?" Labels are nothing but figments of OUR imagination Why can't we break down the barriers of hatred for a better new coming generation ? Guns and knives And all these stupids wars But believe it or not Into a war WE are born Forced to fight Yet we die a little everyday The simple cut of your eyes can cause a piece of me to fade away Judge me by the content of my character NOT by the color of my skin I find my life is poetry Dangerous words are like gun fire Have we not been oppressed enough? Yet chains and whips excite Rihanna!? S & M Nah More like SMH I look down On you clowns Who hate me because of race The abolishment of slavery? But still we are prisoners of our own minds Think outside the box Think outside those chalk dotted lines. The emotions you feel I feel them too But why shall I Be classified As something lower than you? Fear me not For I am only human Judge me by the content if my character NOT by the color of my skin!
