Yes you are different from me
There’s no need for superiority
For in my eyes you are different too
Now, what exactly should we do?
How silly it must be
To use this difference to separate me
If you look closely you will find
There’s more we have in kind
We feel love just like you
We feel pain just like you
We cry tears just like you
We bleed like you do too
We laugh just like you
We feel joy just like you
We breathe air just like you
We want the best things in life as you do
We want to be free just like you
That makes us a lot like you
So what does it matter the color of your hair
It’s much like the clothes you wear
What does it matter the color of your eyes
They’re natures’ grandeur in disguise
Now you speak of the color of our skin
This is where the disparity begins
Skin my dear is like the cloak you wear
Yellow, White, Brown, Black no reason to compare
Go beyond the color of your skin
This is when everyone truly wins
In life there are differences you see
Filled with life’s sacred mysteries
More like treasures to explore
Not to damage, hate and ignore
So when you see someone different from you
Remember you are different too
The question that’s in review
Is who’s looking at who?
