I am white
so I have no voice
You are black
you have a choice
My views aren’t appreciated
They are not heard
When speaking to the masses
Of ‘blacks’ there’s no word
There are three camps
Whites blacks and ‘doesn’t care’
I chose the middle
I am aware
I see things different
Why can’t you see
It’s not about color
But of you and me
Your person your being
Who you are inside
Don’t listen to whites
Or the blacks that hide
They have an agenda
A deep seeded hate
Their blinded by anger
Will it ever abate?
The middle is growing
We’re tired of the fight
Between people of color
And those they call white
Judge others on merit
On their actions and heart
Not on lies or the pasts
We all deserve a new start
Hate is learned
It is not innate
Teach your children to love
Break free of the hate
Rise up together
Hold your neighbors hand
Say no to race
And take a stand
