GET ALONG

Sat, 11/05/2016 - 17:26 -- ASUS

I don't need an award for this,
Neither do I wish to be known for this.
I need an award for those who would go through this,
And also recognition for those who will embrace this.

Did that old black man deserve to die on the cold streets?
Did that fat blonde girl deserve to be emotionally bullied in class?
Did that Asian boy called foreigner deserve to go through that humiliation because his English was poor?
Did I ask to be born white or black?

What did I ever ask for to be given this life?
Did I requested to be an African American?
Or was I that gave Me life and placed me here?

Should they apologize because I don't like there face?
Or rather should I apologize because you don't like my point of views?
Should we all be someone else so that we can get along?
Or should we create a new colour or race,
Where we would all belong?
Seeing it will take us eternities to all get along..!
