Inspired by the song "choice of Colors", Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions

If there were no black, no white
would there be day, night
and who would be right
surely not I
because I cry
when I hear race
put in place
it's a disgrace
to color a face
without a trace
of a mans heart
that's torn apart
by stupid remarks
that embark
on pride
step aside
show dignity
peacefully
understand
that a man
is judged by his walk
not his talk
nor his kin
or the color of his skin
for within
he has been
both day and night
wrong and right
and in the end
will you call him friend
or foe
because you didn't know
which was right
day or night......

Nice

Mankind's biggest mistake, hanging labels on each other, never seeing beyond the colour of a persons skin. Never acknowledging that under the skin resides the same life giving ingredients, blood and a beating heart.I love the way you addressed this complex subject.
