there is no such thing

Location

there is no such thing as race
Bi-racial, multi-racial in a stereo-typical, preconceived.  perpetuated, polarized notion that fathoms stupidity only in america
Light enough to attract
Dark enough that doesn't exceed expectations of not being called ugly
Dark enough to relate to majesty
Light enough to be the bullet from a spinning revolver that ends movements
Not good enough to standards that constantly contradicts ideas because one feels threaten
Not wise enough to kneel and pray
everyday struggles that's normative
Too ignorant if you don't care about humanity and decency
Continuous judgement of approval of those who justify wrong doings
Constant subject of accusations without facts
For both not knowing enough or choose not to see the true meaning
honesty that's too brutal 
Not heaven sent enough to be god
Devilish enough to put nails into too many coffins
Too good to understand the life of a gangsta
Not good enough to never be considered a shooter 
to comprehend the power of a gun
Even if every word is conveyed with convictions
too privileged to say students of life
Don't see with their pupils 
Yet always neutral enough
For a funeral that requires your mother to wear black
