Black skin, white skin, brown skin,
Red skin, yellow skin,
What determines who you are?
Is it because of your skin?
Are you darker than night?
Does that mean you’re not educated?
Worthless, trashy
Or maybe no class?
Are you brighter than light?
Does that mean you excel above all?
Glamorous, wealthy
Or would that make you a snob?
Maybe you’re in between
Would that mean you’re better?
Superior, good looking
Well put together!
It doesn’t matter what skin you’re in
Color doesn’t determine who you are
We are all the same
Life is what you make it
We call our own shots.
