I am Transparent
There is endless joy in me at a time of divisions among humankind
this euphoria of mine shall radiate light to lead the way
for lost souls caught in racial and social divides.
When our skin tone gets veiled under greed for power and discrimination
when black-brown skin tones are spelled as colors
how do we forget that white is a color, too?
Between our confusion of the Creator’s plans
that all Man are created equal
how do we box our fellow beings in terms of white
when all all of us have the color of Red?
There is euphoria blowing like the March wind, the spring breeze
winter’s chill because deep within my body
skeleton, flesh, blood and all
I am a form of energy sent to live my destined time.
I am Life, a guiding star for lost souls all around.
I am transparent, the spirit that I am.
