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.
