SKIN


Same sun , same sky You and I are like the yin and yang We should fit well perfectly Yet you and i revolve in two different worlds You were moulded in a womb , so am I The blood in your veins is red , so is mine We are built with the same singular particles Down right to the core of our being Dear human We walk this same earth We began this journey with the first breath Our final moments end with the last breath Yet why do you walk with prejudice and privileges And why is mine trampled down When did your skin colour started defining who you are Was it your ego and insecurities Taught you to upsell Yourself with that fair skin and blue eyes Well dear man , it doesn't matter anymore Coz you have travelled to the ends of your privilege You no longer can hide under your skin color or Your privilege The world will jude you for your ways and your being And your downfall is not far behind
