Black & white
All of us are kin
Color of the skin
First differences begin
Cancerous not benign
Nature of the act
Decides on the fact
Right and Wrong
Deeply entrenched and strong
Wrongful to society
Words of variety
Prefix added to amplify
Deeds done by everybody
Black market Black Mail
Black Day Blacklist
Prefix decides the fate
Any other other color meaning wouldn't change
Country ' s policy
Color decides authority
Countries of prejudice
Have no sense of justice
Skin color
Nothing inferior
Judging based on color
Man made blunder
Ownership of another man
Price paid for possession of human
Slave trading an act of crime
Prevelant for a long time
Wars fought to establish
Skin color not to distinguish
Nobel won for trying to abolish
Humanity since stands embellished
White and Black
Not each others opposites
At harmony with each other
Together make a whole
Black and White signifies
Anything plain and simple
Used as an adage
Sends the wrong message
