We are shades

Colored? 

Not you and not me

Colors include red orange yellow bule or green

We were all born in a shadow which is why were a shade

I wish all this non sense about blacks, browns and tans being a color would fade

Skin is a type not a color that is seen

Not one pedestrian in this world has that gene

Racism is ignorant, to put down and degrade

Especially since thats not how we were made

White and black are shades with out a vaccine

So at the end the end of the day your skin and my skin are both unclean
