Black or white
BLACK OR WHITE
We are humans after all
Black or white was not our call
We had no choice of which to be
But we have the choice of our destiny
It is not your color but what is inside
On how to live your life only you can decide
Your fellow man you must not hate
Think hard before this you contemplate
The good Lord made us equal in his Eyes
He sees both our sorrows and hears our cries Show RESPECT TO YOUR FELLOW MAN
And in this way, you will follow Gods plan.
