'The skin does not define any human'
The dictionary doesn't even mention the word 'skin' as a constituent of the definition of the word 'human'
So tell me why do you even think of skinning me alive
Is it because you see me as a pig meant to be grilled alive
My skin pigment should never make you think of killing me
See I thought all of us were human
Until this hue men; men of color gave me this murder omen
When I give them my beaming smile, they give me a crooked smile
When I welcome them warmly, they give me a welcome so wooden
Now I realise to them, I am this little piggy bank
When they see me, they see money
Hol up, let me bring this matter to the fore with no metaphors
I hate this discriminative attitude you have towards albinos
Our lack of melanin shouldn't make you think less of us like we are bambinos
Hell this melanin that makes you feel more human is a mere lining
So whats the difference? Black/white we all have functional body parts
We both walk the same walk of life coz we are counterparts
So what the hell gives you an idea to put my parts on the counter?
My soul is as priceless as other homosepians
But somehow society has attached a price tag on my soul
You scheme on me and price my body parts through skimming
You label me a veblen good yet I feel so giffen within
You break the law of demand when it comes to me
All for what? Wealth Power
Why not hit the gym to be powerful
Last but not least, ask yourself this question; what is matter?
Matter is anything that takes up space, right?
So why not let me feel comfy in my space cause I matter
See the matter is we matter fact don't know what matters so we overlook the facts of the mater
What matters is you take in matter
I breathe out matter
So why can't you see that we both matter
