Dialogue


We are the same, you and I Same hopes, same fears, same dreams Same heart, same mind, same eyes We have much in common, it seems Why am I free while you are trapped? I’m guilty of midnight skin and coarse hair Surely we are not all so mentally handicapped? Ask yourself if the world is fair It’s not, ‘tis true, but why? Perhaps fear of equality Do we have an infinite fear supply? Fear will always reign supreme So why must we be afraid of you? We are too much alike for you to take But does anyone else know the truth? No, but it must be yours to break
