A / N : I'm in a major writer's block and my summer is literally school. I'm sooooo busy -- so I'm posting another old poem! It rhymes, too, how impossible! ;)
H U E
The cage you have confined me in is thin
Snip snip and these helium chains drift up
To swallow you whole, trapping you in
All those wrong stereotypes, I have been.
You are drawn in charcoals, ashes, and blues
And the world has changed to a monochrome
The colors of diversity, these hues
Vibrant and lively, all turned to stone.
I must not be bitter, but you should know,
That all races deserve respect and love.
Our differences should be painted in gold,
The cages of the mind we rise above.
So let us take up these broken remains,
The song of hues lives in all of our veins.
