"Lights, Colors, and Shades"


Our world was drawn in twisted lights But the only colors we see are black and white The Creator has no preference in any particular creed Which is why we have the same color when we bleed Look beyond the speeches, protests, and sit-ins You'll discover the real war will never truly end They will remember us for the battles that were fought They will feel uncertain though for the dreams that were sought For no law will make all the bitterness burn No movement will warrant a complete turn Society is a beast impossible to tame In this life we will never be treated the same But our past struggles will not be in vain There is a heaven above where we have everything to gain The Almighty doesn't view colors the same way The color blind only see shades of gray
