Seperate But Equal


Separate But Equal What is wrong the world? You feel worthless, Scared, and alone. No one to trust, Not a hand to hold. So many people But not one’s your friend, A world of shadows Where nothing makes sense. Everyone lies So they can seem real, Too many bad things, It would be better to disappear. In the world we live in, Where is the hope? Where is the faith ? In this world we’ve built up, They make it seem great. But based on the color Of my best friend’s skin, She struggles to find a place Just to fit in. Separate but equal Is such a pretty lie, Nothing can erase They dark shade of their sky . Abused and left out For something so simple, Wouldn’t it be better To see them as our equals.
