Does Skin Lie
Does skin lie?
Blue skin
Blue means loyal
A hero to the average
American
Worn with pride to show that
They are a presence meant
For peace and equality
Does their skin tell the truth?
Black skin
Black is different
A villain to many
Parasite
Their skin is the wrong color
Means a presence meant to be watched
Does their skin mean they won't tell the truth?
Then, really
Who’s skin is the wrong color?

Hi. I am a Master's student in composition at the City University of New York in New York City. We are having our annual winter composers concert next week and I was wondering if I could set your poem to music for Soprano and Piano. The text is great for music and I would like to have your blessings to go forward with this. I will also send you a recording of the work when it is performed.
Hope to hear from you soon
Greg
