The skin that we're in.

Colours we can't see.

By Colin Stevenson Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Colour, the division of all divisions, our flags, our teams, our skin that we're in.

Compartmentalisation?? we need to unite all nations... Unity is one, divided by colour, it takes away all the fun.

Drama and fighting, instead of uniting, still not loving the skin that we're in.

If blindness came calling, would we see humanity and the way it is falling? Or would we love the skin that we're in?

Our uniqueness Intangible, our personality a choice. Should we see colour before hearing a voice?

A country has a flag and that flag has a colour, why should we really be fighting for flag and for honour? In times of need, it should not be down to colour or creed, it shouldn't be down to the skin that we're in.

See a person for who they are, not for the colour of skin, or their type of car.

What's important can't be touched, I bet you haven't thought about that much?

In a nut shell, we know too well, each human being has a story to tell.

In a nut shell, we know too well, each human being has a story to tell.

I bring this to a close, with the words that I chose... It does not matter, the skin that we're in.
