Waiting For The Light


My whole body is filtered black, Knowledge is something I do not lack, Everyone is equal, Equality should be passed down like a sequel, One store that welcomes different skin color to purchase a Bagel, Discrimination shouldn’t be legal, We the people will fight, Until discrimination is out of our sight, Until we have one restaurant that will welcome different skin color for a bite, But for now, the world is dark, I’m at home, waiting for the light.
