Shades of the Skin


Various shades of colors

Black

White

Tan

All so equally beautiful 

Yet there is people who dare judge

People so full of anger and a hallowing emptiness

Raise your voices

Dare take a stance

Change the system

Do not let it define you

What does it all come down to?

Is it a matter of influence? 

It comes down to us

Dare to have no filter
