Will you make presumptions about who I am
Based on whether my skin is white, black, or tan
Or any shade for that simple matter
Because I am white will you think I am fatter?

When will the prejudice come to a close
I know that I don’t wear my hair in corn rows
But should that make people think I am not spiritual
Or that I don’t take interest in the history of your people?

Since I am Caucasian does it mean I am preppy
Since I am an Asian does it mean I’ll be smart?
Is it possible for a white man to not be crappy
At all types of sports, and be good at art?

Writing these things I don’t mean to be racist
Just shine a light on all of the prejudice that exists
And let everyone know that I think it is wrong
That everyone can’t sing to the same song
That people can’t get along…

But what can I do
I am only one man
And it seems that you care
If I am white, black, or tan.

You put into words something that I have tried and tried to write down. Every time I have failed to put the proper words to it. With this poem you have captured the message, and given it to the world.

I like it.

Maybe some day. WE can be that way, and maybe someone will follow us.
