All Skin Bleeds Red
Blood is always red
When it breathes the air
Grass is always green
Under summer’s kiss
His skin may be different colored
She may only look through one eye
And he may love another man
And she may want to die.
Words can be more than words
They can also knot the noose
Words can be more than words.
They can also heal the scars.
Her face may be charred
His legs may be mangled
And her mind may be autistic
And his rope may be tangled.
Tears are always tears
No matter the color of the eyes.
Hate is always hate.
No matter the victim of cutting words.
A smile is always a smile
In any language it is spoken.
All our blood is always red
No matter the color of the skin that has been broken.
