SKIN DEEP ©

If I could change the entire world with just a single wish

I would wish to end racism and abolish prejudice

Because I think there’s nothing worse today plaguing humanity

Than the fact that the different shades we possess, prevent our unity

How can one man look at another and know nothing about him

And hate him to the bone just because of his tone of skin

If a man is good, he’s good no matter if he’s white or black

If he’s evil, then he’s evil, his race doesn’t change that fact

It stinks to think that racism can really still exist

After the slave trade ships and genocides and Schindler’s twisted list

I’m not saying we should hold hands, skipping to a happy song

But let’s end all this foolish hatred just so we could get along

Why hate a man if you don’t know is race or understand what he’s about

It is nonsensical, unethical; it is a cowardice, easy way out

I wish that all mankind could just wake up and realize

And try to love a little more until racism dies.
