Change Yer Paint

We aren't people of colour

We're people, just people

Skin tones won't matter

Without political will.

Outside we all measure

Various tones that don't matter

We're all rainbows of treasure

So let free the paint spatter.

So sometimes we're blue

Mad or blush our red face

Filled with green envy too

We're all from one place.

Emotions get coloured

But what of our skin

Are we so pathetic

That we can't see within?

The soul is transparent

The heart's blood is red

Colours don't matter

With no crib for a bed.

You are what you are

You ain't what you ain't

See past the colour

Try changing your paint.
