~~~

I have freedoms others will never know

Simply because my skin is white

And although I did not choose it so

I agree that it is just not right

~~~

For in youth, all are color blind

Until we are taught to hate

Fears pressed daily in our minds

Become reasons to not relate

~~~

I will stand with you, all brothers true

Until racism finally dies

And hope the world our children view

See you treated as right as I

~~~
