We Are No Different


Some say ignorance is bliss, but I dare to disagree; I say ignorance is what the eyes are afraid to see. On the outside you may think these people are friends through whatever; Truth is they use you in efforts to make themselves look better. As beautiful as their faces may seem; Darkness fills them, no rainbows or sunbeams. This darkness consists of hate, bias, lies, and hurtful words; It’s time to stop this trend because all that stuff is for the birds. All men are created equal that’s what I believe is true; Why hate me because of my color? I hurt the same as you. Let’s all join together and shine light unto this dark; Because every gigantic fire, starts with one little spark.
