IN HIS EYES WE'RE ALL THE SAME ri S’ A sheltered life I lead, not having to live off water or bread. I wasn't yellow, red, or black by any means, but the most natural color to me I seemed. I was “w hite," to most the only race, but yet it’s not, I had to face. I grew up wearing rose-colored glasses, where people of race w eren't wanted in my classes. "What's the difference?" I never could see. They are all just people like you and me. Prejudice is something that I am not. For behind the slaves, 1 would have fought. Blindness can make a smart man naive. As an ignorant man w o n 't listen nor believe. We were all created equal in His mind, flesh and blood o fa ll the same kind. We must see past the surface and into the STRIVE TO SURVIVE heart. SO M EH O W O UR PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR W A Y, That's the only place that we can start, MISPLACED O UR CULTURE. GONE ASTRAY. to live in this w orld united, and not apart.
