Together as One


Why does it matter if my skin is darker than yours?

Why take my land away from me and leave me here suffering with an empty soul?

At least give me clean water in return,

rip open my head and yours,

look at both skulls.

Is there a difference?

I sure don't see it.

So why not create peace with one another?

Lets create our own future,

together as one.
