Does it Matter?


Does it matter? We the people Born the same way Came out that hollow cave Does it matter? From the light Brights and the darks as nights Still marching that same tune Fighting for equality Will it come someday soon… Does it matter? This color upon my skin the look I give will it end Ashamed, embarrassed should I really be “Psshh” yeah right, look what greatness was achieved That same color upon my face Was worn by so many greats who before took my place. Does it matter? Does it really matter? As long as we the people Came out that hollow cave the same way And look at ourselves and those around We should look with such a great awe and Admiration that so many different people could Come from the same genes and print out So many different masterpieces-- Does it really matter what the color of my skin is?
