[Old and Unreadable] Max's Thought-Provoking Poetry

Radiant Discrimination

It's like the shining sun, oh so radiant
Spreading through the world beneath it
Cutting through shadows and darkness
Like they're nothing
But they are nothing, aren't they?
At least, our unspoken code tells us so
We bask under the sun that protects us
While the shadows thrash in the pain it inflicts

How do you escape the burning radiance?
The very thing that gives the world warm light
Burns you in cold blood
Human instinct, human desire to be better
To win, to dominate, to shine brighter
But in shining brighter
We lose sight of
What we fight for

You close yourself up in a room, hiding
Hoping the musky walls will hide you
From the greatness incarnate, the radiance
The power of the sun
But you cannot escape, even in the dark
It sits outside
And while you try to wish the discrimination away
It's still there, burning your pale dark skin...
