We All Bleed Red


You feel like the tint of my skin discovers you better, Pish posh and be gone with your with your silly antics, My mind shines not because of my skin, My thought holds intelligence not because of the hue of my appearance, You are the extract of that evil word nigger use on thy ancestors, Ignorant. The words spat out your mouth exceeds the point of apology or self clarity, I just as anyone else am entitled to speak an educated mind, Exposing a truth you might be blind too, Expressing a reasoning your lips stay glued too... At least when it comes from a party of people you class from a racial standpoint when truth is we are all brothers united, All equal, We all bleed, We all cry, And we would all stand if it wasn't for you poisoned vision of us as a people, Sad, tisk tisk as you ball up your fist because my speech burns the your opinionated view based on the pigmentation of the world. How dare you see yourself grander than a darker shade, With that attitude, You won't survive in the world lived today. You never know when you'll need my hand, And I'd help you from the edge of that cliff... Just so you'd understand. -Cspb
