Under One Sun
Under One Sun
Myriads of fingers arise in unison
Visages mirror their gleaming hope
Lifted hands are granted the horizon
Pain is patiently elevated from a wide pallet of struggling arms
Morbid backstories are now purified
Thrusted open are their pupils
Staring at the core of light
Deities are shouldered next to Humans
Anglos next to Africans
Chins are cocked up in pride
Sheltered under one sky
Golden notes begin to lift, yet their ankles stay still
Ancestors, in their grave, lightly crack smiles
Mothers are next to sons wailing scales in harmony
A Universal choir that seeks no mistro
Raises its ambitions seeping from its souls
Fathers are next to daughters sacrificing every inch of their voice in joy
Diverging lines of color now become blind
The melanin of the everlasting many are now intertwined
Purification of the people without one soul sleeping
No more Australoid,Capoid,Caucasoid,Mongoloid or Negroid
Every one is every one
Pigment is now void
Notions of color ontop of the dermis, has now been destroyed
As a Grandmothers hymns soothe the pain, to erase the melanin of the last black boy
