Black & White

Black & White

I am described as white

What does it mean?

My skin colour is lighter than yours

If you are called “black”.

Does it matter what is my skin colour?

Does it matter what is your skin colour?

We are all human beings.

What do we see when we attach meaning

To the colour of your skin?

Do we make assumption about where are you coming from

Do we make assumptions about your culture

Do we make assumption about your abilities and who you are

And what you can be.

Please stop looking at me by the colour of my skin

Stop judging me about my ethnicity

And just see me in all my light

And Almighty of my being

And treat me as you would treat yourself

Start creating a rainbow of all colours

Acting like a bridge in the sky of prejudice

And injustice

That can become equality and justice

And social change

In this world where every life matters

No matter what is the skin colour.

Love is infinite

We are all the same

Red is the colour of our blood

We all can ride the blackness of pain,

The fear that is hard to disappear

Amidst the ocean of sorrow and injustice

Let’s not be part of the shame

Let’s stop looking at black & white

And allow the light of hope

to appear in the sky becoming serene and blue

with true spirit of wonderness

of astonishment

for the purity of our souls.

Let’s take action today

And never surrender to the colour

Of prejudice

But treat everyone with kindness,

compassion and equality

No matter what colour do you see

Just reach for the rainbow of victory.
