Since When Color Really, Really Matters

Be real and serious! Be fair to yourself and to others

Since when color really, really freaking matters

All men and women are created the same and equal

Ill-conceived men and women are into created an evil

Society of hierarchy and are into dividing us for the worst

Not for the best. Everybody deserves the very best

And equal chances or fair opportunities. Men and women

Are essentially the same, there is one tiny comma or dash

That separates male and female. There is no need to clash

Over nonsense or stupidity. We’re born; we breathe, drink and eat

And rhyme with it. We’re essentially the same. No different a bit

We’re all blessed and lucky to be alive, to help and to love

Our fellow brothers and sisters. We’re always searching above

And beyond for something, while we’re neglecting the masterpiece

In front of us. Let’s strive for better understanding, love and peace

We have too much to lose. Let’s eradicate racism, ignorance and bigotry

Let’s make the world safer and a better place for all humanity

Regardless of the skin color. We’re born under the same stars and sky

And under the same mystery, we will eventually weep, cry and die

Since when color really, really freaking matters

Be just and serious! Be fair to yourself and to others.
