Color

Greetings

Color,

Does my color define me, hmm incline me, see I filled out a job application for the White man and he declined me,

But not because I lacked the qualifications, I’m black he white I’m wrong he right and he has the final authorization,

Color, what makes us unique, will also get you critiqued, which forces us to dig deep into revealing a force so strong my people felt certain of defeat,

But failures not an option, the same colors that divides us can bring us together, smile the whole worlds watching, I say this to say you have an option, don’t be the one who’s toxic, show your true Colors and maybe we can stop it!

Thank you for reading!

Sincerely, Johnta
