I just heard a tale
That made my heart wanna cry
It's filled with blood, fire and cries
And streams rolling down thousands of eyes
It's so sad
How harsh humans can be
Sometimes
It's against humanity
I just heard a tale
About a flier
Who reached her destination
In a shower of fire
I just heard a tale
About the dark
For the ones
Who were dark
Apparently your color
Is who you are
And if you're different
You'll never reach the stars
What if the world reversed?
What if it would reset?
Then what if you changed colors?
Would you have liked to meet torture
The way they've met?
Would you have liked to be tested on
If you were a twin?
Or being taken away
From your family and kin?
Would you have wanted
To be a slave?
Or see your palace
Turn into a cave?
In a world full of racism
And people who judge
There are a few whose hearts are as sweet as fudge
Who remember that they could've been in their place
Who know that racism is a disgrace
-Hana H. Barakat
