SOMETIMES & MAYBE

Stereotypes and the effects it has on society and people in a personal way. Preconcieved prejudices.

Sometimes the world makes me question if I should feel comfortable in my own skin

Not because I'm ashamed of who I am

Because I'm not

However...

Sometimes I want to just pull my skin so far back that I'm no longer black

Maybe then they'll she me for who I really am

Maybe then they'll see that behind this beautiful black melinin I'm nothing more than flesh and bare bones like they are

Maybe they'll she a man who's heart...

Who's heart pumps the same red blood of love that Jesuses did

That Buddhas did

That Muhammad and even Ghandis did

If that's who they chose to believe

I'm not judging

Maybe they'll see more than just some thug that sells drugs in baggy jeans and a black hoodie

Maybe they might give me the chance to expose myself as ME

Not who they think I am or could be

But most of the time they're not willing

Sometimes I...

Wish that I could opperate a scientific lab

Where the only thing we would do is dissect the hearts of animals filled with racial hate

Sexual hate

Mental hate

And all other hate that causes a man inner torment

Maybe then we might achieve the antidote for a perfect world

Sometimes I find myself wishfull thinking

Maybe one day the thought might really happen...

Judgement before getting to know a person affects us all as people
