Roses

Life is like a rose, endless layers, overlapping and underlapping to create a thing of such immense beauty it's to hard to ignore. Like life roses come in all colors, black, white, purple, green etc. You know you can get a rose in every color but blue? Boy I hope for every ones sake aliens ain't blue.

segregation

The point of segregation is to separate but that's not really what it ended up doing. Sure the whites and blacks were apart but by treating all the blacks the same (that is to say really really bad) the white men brought us together.  In my small Mississippi town we all felt like family. Us dark skins had to stick together or we'd really have nothing, not even a friend. So in the end after all the whites work, to brake us, to bring us down, in the end they gave us our best weapon yet...family, friends, love.
