TRUE COLORS

 

I see what’s happening here…and I know it isn’t right…

We have a government doing everything it can to paint this country white.

 

A country where only one color is accepted as important…

one gender, one religion…one sexual preference-straight… 

but I refuse to join them down their rabbit hole of hate.

 

I will continue to accept and marvel at our differences…

to find peace and love and joy…

in the very things these people are trying so hard to destroy.

 

I want to stand up and say to the world…

in a voice as loud as it can be…

To all of you who holding the paintbrush…

you do not speak for me!

 

That no matter how you try…

your hate will never change my point of view…

That no matter how white you try to paint this country…

our true colors will shine through.
