We Cut and Bleed The Same Color

*Specially written for The Anti-Racism Poetry Event for World-Poems Net group on Facebook*

Don't fear my skin,
open your heart,
and let me in.

We must learn and teach,
take the olive branch,
it's a loving reach.

Erase the fears,
and add in hope,
for better years.

Let's respect eachother,
for we cut and bleed,
the same color.

Let's respect eachother,
for we cut and bleed,
the same color.

Be open to my culture,
step out of your anger,
and embrace my color.

Respect all of me,
let's hold hands,
and sing in harmony.

Time to end the hate,
and learn from history,
before it's too late.

Let's respect eachother,
for we cut and bleed,
the same color.

Let's respect eachother,
for we cut and bleed,
the same color.
