Muddy Monochrome

I'm diverse

but they can't tell the difference between hues of brown

or yellow

or ebony

but they will find the many different shades of pink

until no color appears at all

it's oddly wild 

in a muddy field

they still try to dig for small grains of the whitest rice

when they forgot who picked it

I'm diverse

but when will it really matter

about beautiful cultures

but it only matters when 

they pull out a swatch of colors

and match with forcible horrors

don't they forget?

We're all apart of a muddy monochrome

so why do the smallest of chromosomes

determine our fate in the world?

We're diverse in each other

but listen my dear

"We all still bleed the same exact color"
