Analysis of Our colored world
When I walk the streets i look up and see
an array of colors right in front of me.
I look the the left to see a friend at my side,
He said, 200 years ago this would not slide
times have changed
we are no longer estranged.
We stand together and say,
Black lives matter, lets keep it that way.
