Call me colour-blind, all I see is black and white.
A humanity based on a colourless sight.
White man inferior, strong and free,
black man subjacent, lesser, minority.
White men whip black men right into shape,
no equal rights, cannot escape.
God said love one another, it says in the bible,
yet white man still stomps, never quite liable.
Mississippi Georgia, a couple states filled with hate.
Why can’t white and black man follow the hands of fate?
God intended us to be one, to love each other equally,
yet we are segregated based on our pigment more often than frequently.
You see I walk during the day when the sun is shining bright,
and the looks I get from white man screams something is not right.
Is it because I am dirty, or because I am not clean?
My skin is just dark, or have you not seen...
Now I am not asking for much I am just stating the facts,
That my fellow Negros just so happen to be blacks.
We all want the same thing, to be happy and live a good life,
but to do that we need to stop stabbing one another with a knife.
We are all humans; we need acceptance and love,
I know we can achieve that, we can rise above.
My name is Martin Luther King and I am a Negro man,
My dream is equality, to be egalitarian.
