Life's Examination
A test
A simple test
God created man in his image
A creature filled with life
Blood flowing and
A heart beating
Each being unique
Outside and in
The beauty of humanity
Always new
Each difference, though
Breeds collision
A simple separation:
Skin color
Black
White
Brown
Yellow
Such a fickle deviation
Produces such devastation
A test
Failed
Retaken throughout each generation
Sometimes passed, sometimes failed
Yet always taken
Through a simple difference in pigmentation
