The Infamous Facade


I cannot help but think why color even mattered in the first place Close your eyes and we are all the same The same human race My heart beats, your heart beats Yet we choose to classify as these infamous white or black facades But what is color? Scientifically it is a reflection of light But color comes from the heart of people not a reflection in eyes We choose to claim it as a mere facade on a body of bones But I am not a color I am not a facade I am a Human being
