COLOUR OF YOUR SKIN


                    

 

When will it stop?

Why can’t we all get along?

Why must the colour of your skin define you?

How can we say that we are redressing the past in terms of unfair discriminatory behavior

When it is still existent among our youth today?

What does the colour of your skin have to do with intelligence?

Are we then a prejudice nation?

Why can’t we stop judging and ask the right questions?

Stop categorizing things on the basis of colour

Don’t generalize…

Not everyone is the same

Albeit, may be that you have encountered a certain trend

Doesn’t mean that everyone is capable of doing it

Remember we are all equal

Made from the same God

There is no need to be hostile

Try and treat everyone with the same respect as you would like to be treated

Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all did that?

Instead we play the blame game

Everything is about colour

How ignorant can you be?

‘Love thy neighbor’, can you not see?

Stop acting all prejudice and bold

And start asking yourself;

“How can I…

                         LIVE WELL AND DIE OLD?”
