ONE RACE

We are one yet we are different

All from Noah’s Ark we trace our bloodlines

Our skin tone darkened with the paths our ancestors walked

Does not change the color of blood that seeps through our flesh.

We are all one yet we are different

Darker does not connote a smaller brain

Whiter does not connote a devilish grin

There is good and bad in all the races.

All the tribes have persecuted and burnt at the stake people who are different.

We are all innocent yet guilty

Looking away whilst our brother is murdered.

We close our doors when our sisters cry out in pain from rape

The blood we shed will stain our lands and destroy our crops

God sees no race, no color, no tribe, and no gender

The Rains fall on both Black, Brown and White

Yet we choose a life of separation

Beating drums of disgust because our skin color differs

Laying waste to ourselves in segregated policies out of ignorance.

We are one yet we are different

All from Noah’s Ark we trace our bloodlines

Untainted by Hate we reached for the stars in Babel

Cursed by our treachery we grip for redemption in our homes.

The Human Race ……seeking to destroy itself from within.
