My Skin Is My Sin

vol.1 My skin

My skin. Since day one on this earth ,my skin has been my sin. It has become the reason why I hide in my shadows. I cover myself in my dark clouds, hoping the sun comes out so I can be seen. They told me to be black means to be a slave. They made my skin a sin. So young and afraid I made no friends. I walk alone and I speak to myself. I saw many dead bodies in my street. I saw many helpless black people outside the hospitals. They had no help or no hope. I guess they made thier skin thier sin. They called it racism.
I can't get my mind of the fear I went through since I was a boy. I can't over look the tears I shared and the prayers I said each morning, hoping that one day the black man will not stand in the dark and speak but will be in the spotlight.
I had no friends. I had no education. I had no church. I had no shelter. I had no where to run to. They called Me a monkey. They said I was ugly. But they forgot no matter how beautiful or handsome they maybe even the gorillas and baboons attract tourist. No matter how much they kept killing my dreams and spirit ,I always find a way to motivate myself. Even though our fathers and mothers thought racism was over, it has become worse in my time too. But I am doing exactly what my fathers did . So that Oneday I can find peace for my kids as well. I think we are all the same. In politics we are the same. In relationships we are the same. In love we are the same. So why do u wanna keep me in the dark . Cut Me open and you will see I bleed just like you. When you look at me you see a slave and when I look at you I see an opresser. I am already black but yet you paint me more black to the police. Haven't you killed more than enough already. Black life matters we say and we will keep saying it. We send our messages through music ,paintings, writings, and movies. And it will never stop coming.
My Skin Is My sin...............
The same, The same, The same...
We are all the same, politically we are the same. We lie to the world and leave them in pain. We lose and yet they gain. This world is insane. We manage to build our homes and it goes down the drain. Hands soaked in stain and blood many as the rain.
The same , The same, The same...
We are all the same, relationships, we are all the same. We lie with our lips and our hearts feel the pain. The mind gets the blame and the body suffers the shame. Millions of lips with the same words again.I love you becomes I hate you. I bless the day I met u becomes I curse that day. *had I known* we say,but we still make the same mistakes. Starts with happiness but yet end never the same.
The same, The same, The same...
We are all the same, socially we are the same. We gossip and act jealous each day. The rich stands on top of the poor and the weak keeps in the same way. We sell and buy but yet nothing is sufficient. We are all the same.
The same, The same ,The same...
We are all the same, religiously we are the same. The Christian love and the muslims too. We all pray and get what we deserve and want. So why do we still fight? Is unless because we are all the same.
The same, The same, The same...
All of us are the same. The young grows old and the sun still shines. This world is still the same, nothing has changed and nothing will ever change. It rains, and still the sun shines. Morning surely comes and we still expect to see the evening. The world is still the same. Everything happening now has happened before. Nothing is new. Everything is still the same.
The same, the same, the same...
We are all the same. Nothing is enough for us. We are the same. Our heart desires are like the land of the death. There is always room for more. We are all the same. The same!
The same, the same, the same...
We are all the same. Our ears is never tired to hear. Our eyes are never tired to see and our lips are never tired to speak. We are all the same. We have become slaves to our emotions ans prisoners to our mind. We are all the same.
The same, the same, the same...
Our ending is always better than the beginning. Everything seems the same. life ends with death and pain ends the same. From generation to generation we behave the same. We love the same. We hate the same.
The same the same the same...
The earth is still the same. the more we grow our lifes stand the same. From one problem to another. And ome shame to another. For how long will u run away from the truth. Stand and fight because you will meet it someday and still the same..
The same the same the same..
I am still the same!!!!
