Analysis of Some Things Aren't Chosen
There are some things we never choose
In life and some we'd like to lose,
Since we are not to blame.
Our height as well as how we sound
When talking to a friend we found;
Like all who never chose their name.
The color of our skin was not
A thing to choose that we've now got
And will forevermore.
Nobody got to choose those things
Or comments some of them might bring
Just like they did before!
