My skin(echo) …. was Bargained for the Benefits my melanin.
She’s a person of color,
Who’s afraid to confront the police,
Pretty brown skin, girl you know those boys love you
They Still Have Money For Wars ,
But No Money To Feed The Poor .
One gun for Akai Gurley
One shot for Trayvon Martin
One bullet for Mike Brown
I’m white, Caucasian,
Dutch, Norwegian.
I have no month
To celebrate this background,
Long Live the King by Christian Betancourt
God Bless the soul of Martin
More than just any ordinary man
The color of one’s skin
Is not where they begin
There should be no racism
The one thing that upsets me the most, is when they teach racism and segregation in school.
