its all
a part of segregation
an infestation
of an infected nation
that says
I am better than he
they say
we can never be
I say
just wait and see
I always do
what's right for me
open your eyes
and SEE
that love
is defined
by HE
who are we
to contradict
the Almighty
we are not
defined by
sight only
in these
souls cages
we fight
the color
of our skin
instead
of looking within
seeing loves
true color~light
a rainbow array
side by side
with no pride
or dominance
an omniscient
idea
of how
good it is
to be
a you and a me
to really
be seen
to really
be loved
we pray
to heaven
above
for a time
of change
but change
never comes
without pain
pain never
comes without blame
blame never
covers shame
we must
remain strong
to speak loud
the wrongs
it falls
in the hands
of the conscious few
to expand
our point of view
to save us
from a history
long past
to change
the lot
that's been cast
to rescue
these broken
hearts
that keep us
apart
to support
the I and I
one love
risen high
beyond
these borders
that are
one color

I love the message you send out with this poem. It's very true, deep, and heartfelt. The only problem I have with this poem is that its flow seemed stilted to me. The short stanzas made my reading of it a bit awkward, but otherwise it was excellent.
