What Color Are You

Prejudice is felt and sometimes can be unseen,
Many ignorant people think it's gone,
Yet, it's still going on
Have you witnessed such mien:

Your eyes are green
Their skin is brown
They have bruises from there on down
We have to hide from being seen

Your sibling's a crack fien'
Their sneakers have no gleam
They keep to themselves, always in a dream
We can't openly speak of where we've been

Your parents just clean
Their words don't make sense
They come from a country without cents
We're always teased for being unclean

Your dress is not halloween
Their bumps look like skin debris
They don't even know how to use a PC
We get public gestures that are most obscene

Prejudice causes the World to careen
Eliminating each and every form,
will give life much reform
To start, just intervene
