Look at me; look at me

Look at me; look at meΒ 
Tell me that you don't see the color of my skin or the wool of my hair?Β 
Tell me that you don't see a criminal in your mind or a human with no rights to spare.
Β Tell me you don't glare at Β me with disgust because you think the color of my skin is dirty and that the way that us blacks are treated is just.Β 
Β  Β  Β Β 
Β Look at me; look at me.Β 
Tell me why I'm scared for a little black boy who lives dearly in my heart?Β 
Tell me why I'm scared for the lives of black people after dark?Β 
Hidden is the hate not the love that I want, why can't love just over power this cold colored fate?Β 

Β Look at me; look Β at me.Β 
Colored is the skin but underneath we're the same, white are the bones mine and yours are the same.Β

Strident and confrontational; yet underneath the exasperation and anger is a simple human yearning for understanding and compassion.

Very powerfully written.
