“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes
We are the color red
We are the color white
Beneath our skin
Blood and bones
From head to toe
Much to our chagrin
Yet because he
Is white and I am black
We take hits on our chins
Our wives hitting each other
With rolling pins
Though in reality
We are identical twins
Dividing humanity
On the basis of our skin color
The original sin
Corrupted by pigmentation
We are also corrupted from within
Love poetry Hate racism
