Unity


Summer days like summer nights
See the colors see the sights
Washed out light in sunlight too
Lights my face my skin in two
Colored swans in dancing sea
Far above the canopy
The soul that unites us
The pigment that divides us
Reminds us who we want to be

Who are you, why do you cry
Your color doesn't make you try
A blind man doesn't want you to
Tear the book the page in two
Black or white in mindless rage
See the eyedrop in the sage
Your image in the water
Does it beg you to slaughter
A man for his righteous wage

Summer days like summer nights
Feel the colors feel the sights
The looming shade like sunlight too
Don't let it tear your heart in two
The birds still sing in the tree
Feathers of every race and creed
The song resembles unity
Does it anger, does it kill
Or remind you who you want to be?
