The Image
A country so exuberent, and driven by its fight for equality
neglects to practice it within its own body
she has many faces and shades, sizes and voices,
many hearts and minds, yet such a colorful array of society has been
dried to black and white despite our choices.
many years spent to lay and seal the base idea of unity.
only to be washed away by the hands of prejudice duty.
If one thing were to change, it would be to ban both black, white, yellow,
red, and any solid color within these parts
because no one color can symbolize the world's heart
End racial discrimination, and practice what we preach
or else this "free" land the world must impeach.
