Colors are what's inside my Crayola and paint box

My views on race, color, class. I long for a world where there is no distinction, but a world that is ruled with love and honor. |
|
You judge me if I’m black or white;
You judge me if I’m wrong or right.
You look at me as if I weren’t there;
You see what you want, do I really care?
But it does hurt to see the pain inside;
When colors are judged, not just the painting kind.
Instead of seeing me for who I am;
You judge me through your eyes that have been filled and crammed;
With hatred, dishonesty and abuse;
Hearts filled the destruction and filtered views.
It’s time to move past what you believe;
And see me for me, not preconceive,
Who you think I am and who I should to be;
Because Crayon’s are colors not what makes me.

| A very angry poem - let's just keep encouraging the world to see us all as we really are inside. |
