Colorblind
Martin Luther King had a vision
We have proved to be a visionless generation
The lack of racial unity
Leads us to skewed opportunity
This disease is lack of education
It is spreading across the nation
Kids are already giving up on the American Dream
Because it is no longer how it seemed
Receiving A's is not enough
When your parents' salary is on the cuff
When your color defines your learning
And keeps you from financially earning
America does not provide equal opportunity
When privileged colors receive immunity
This poem is about:
My community
My country
Our world
