Shaded Colors

We are alike
Subdivided by hate
We keep saying we can change
But the signs show that it’s too late
It's not safe
It's not right
Too much struggle
To just pass by through life
Separate but not equal
The only similarity is that we are people
Bleeding through veins
But it’s still not the same
We all struggle but it’s never the same pain
Passed down by generation
Wealth is passed down in families
They’re tragedies
It’s more than anatomy
Divisions
They shouldn’t define our decisions
Keep it in math class
Cuz all that
Is giving me whiplash
Just a sad backlash
More painful memories
Some heavy intense flashbacks
Nothing but a bad past
Keeps up like a bad rash
A sad fact they allow it
To dictate
The way they think
What they believe
Looking with their eyes
Not with their heart
So they allowed their souls
To be deceived
So deep I must repeat
Not looking with their hearts
So they allowed their souls
To be deceived
So apprehensible
Too illogical to conceive
Never knowing
Where they’re going
So they plan to retreat
Never giving change
A chance
So all they know is defeat
