Young and Naive


I never understood why we couldn't be friends. I thought segregation is over... Isn't that what Martin, Rosa, and Malcom fought for? "Equality for ALL" is our nations ideal. Forgive Me if I am wrong, I was young and naive I was blind to the reality I wish everyone was blind Maybe then we would not see the color Especially since a blind one can't judge a book by its cover A blind one can hear and feel, shouldn't that be important? Forgive Me if I am wrong, I was young and naive How long can the judging go on? The harsh reality that We will never become equal... ...Is a thought beyond reality
