The maker separated light from darkness
But humanity he made in oneness
People around rendering themselves soulless
Quarrying enmity with zealous harness
Foes are lacking when you love and hate less
Kids born with love miserably grow hopeless
Of uniting racial dogmas of chumminess

This has been the battle of shades and tints
A maximum taste of hate with no mint
We can only see the light when we squint
So we are not blinded by misled sole prints
Crafting for the next era a blue-print
Through thorough and deliberate reprints
Of healing broken history with bands of splints
