Black and White Sins

Blacks
Beautiful inside
Fear out
Always a difference
And
Playing a racial card

Whites
Beautiful inside
Dominance out
Never a difference
And
Playing a trump card

Black and white
Nothing inside
Doubt out
Mistrust the difference
And
Open misere

An excuse that

Somehow colour is different
