Analysis of Racism
Colour colour everywhere
What colour is your skin?
Pale, beautiful like moon
Brown, beautiful like earth
When the sun shines
The pale shines silver
When the sun shines
The brown shines golden
Colour colour everywhere
What colour are your eyes?
Black, vast as space
Blue, deep as ocean
Green, calming as grass
Brown, warm as honey
Colour colour everywhere
What colour are your lips
Pink, fresh as rose
Nude, sweet as chocolate
Colour colour everywhere
Whatever colour they are
Love them If they are
beautiful from heart
What an art by the greatest Artist
He wanted to show world
All shades of beauty
