We Had No Choice In The Matter

Truth Be Told

By Jewel Caceres Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Lovely, I see

Yeah, that’s right

That’s lovely you

That’s lovely me

Lovely black

Lovely white

Lovely red, yellow, and brown

All mixed up in this sea

Who knew that

This colorful existence

Would have gained so much resistance

Whether you have been

A racist, a victim

Innocent or a witness

Please don’t keep your distance

Let’s come to learn to love

Rather than let anger and ignorance beat within us

For we had no choice in the matter

To begin with
