I am awake, I am alive. Have I been forgiven for the sins I never committed? Have I been judged for the non-existent lies that I told? The truth is among us, but has it set me free? No... For I have been judged by my peers because of my skin, because of my manner of speaking. Do you know? Do you know anything about me? No, you don't. You listen to the rumors they have spread. The lies they whisper in your ear like a soft drum. You believe what you hear, not what you see. You forever hold a hatred for me above you when it should be non-existent. Have I wronged you? Have I lied to you? Do you know me by name, face or the lies that are whispered in your ear? This isn't justice! For this day forth, this is Judgment!
