Race

I walk in the street and see white black and brown.
Many in different shades but all in the same town
Some of em wears a smile and some of em wear a frown.
Some women in a skirt and other ones in a gown,
Some of em learns to swim, while others just learn to drown.
Some of em learns to follow while other ones wear the crown.

We learn to segregate before we learn the word unity
We learn to hate, I hate the fact that we hate our own community
We learn to fight, we learn the right, but still we do the wrong
Some learn to kill, we learn to steal, and still we claim we're strong
What strength we hold if we cheat through life
We say we're right but JESUS Christ
We need new life
What life we own
And this is the place that we call
HOME??

    I love this...
    A sense of uncertainty is displayed...
    so many people...so many backgrounds
    keep up the good work
