Oh Colourless..
Oh colourless
How I wish you existed in our midst
You would rid us of all this mess
There wld be no spite when seeing white
No panic when seeing black
Everyone would be transparent
We would look bluntly into their souls
And see them for who they truly are
Rather than using their color as a reflection
Of their character and perception
We would value each other equally
There would be no need to prioritize
Superiority over the minority races
Irregardless of whether you light or melanin
You would still look fine

there is so much within us that others cannot see.. a cover, an appearance often can hide that which is hiding deep within ourselves .. i love your idea of seeing within

Colour has been truly the stumbling block of the human race and it still is, we have this thing of stereotyping a person's behaviour by just looking at his or her skin
