Race is so stupid
Why can't we all look alike?
Huh?
Damn sun...
Or maybe not
Lifetimes of the incredulous "marveling"
The marveling of what the complexity of complexion has to offer
An infinite amount of shades of eye colors
Billions of skin shades
Millions of sartorialist stereotypes
It can be quite beautiful
Sit back
Quite down a bit
Listen with your heart
Just a moment
You, me, the world
We are all the most beautiful
Why divide ourselves
In such a vain, negative, blind way?
We can learn
Learn from each other
Embrace God given beauty
Ye shall quit deteriorating and destroying
Embrace more
Embrace each other

Mantra to inspire others to be happy with their ethnicity, and to inform everyone that at the root of it all we are all the same species of humanity.
