Tinted

Black silhouettes live in shadows
Shaded from the light of many,
Threatening to the ignorant
Igniting a sense of
Unjustified hate.

Hiding from the window's,
Fear of being seen out of place
In pockets of a nervous twitch.
Living rooms rearranged to
Protect from prosecution.

Simple vision blinded through
Old blinds and historic thinking, and
Hope forms from the moment of birth, then falls just short of hate right before adulthood.

wow, from hope to hate...."in pockets of a nervous twitch"
we rearrange ourselves and our way of thinking, but can we get rid of that blind prejudice?

that is something that is not innate, it is learned.

and the colors of our life are tinted by and tainted by that hate.

Yes, many of us are blinded by this tint. As always thank you for your insight, it seems as if you knew exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this.
