The colors of the vast
Segregating with pain and shame
The distressed hoped it wouldn’t last
Instead there’s change in the way to play the gameAn artery of hatred, cruelty and death
With tongues of torture and depravity
In many racists I’ve seen and met
Still the unending hopes of unanimityTheir negative mannerisms uneasy to ignore
Their ugly colors every minute of the day
One mind and body I hope they restore
And these shades are brought out in spades
