Humanity

I am not like you in a way Melanin saturates the hues of my skin My skin, my skin As it does not to yours But only in this are we different for beneath our contrasting shades we are the same Alike at the very core of ourselves, alike in our Humanity, Humanity, Humanity So where is your humanity Pigmentation is not a jury or judge Though on it they constitute executions of us, of us, of us And they would call it just But only in skin are we different For beneath our contrasting shades we are the same Alike at the very core of ourselves, alike in our Humanity, Humanity, Humanity They admit the worth of all lives But omit the inclusion of mine They say that they are colorblind Dismissing parts of our lives Refusing to recognize Life is made of all color and size I am not like you in a way But we're both human, just the same
