You & Me

Your hair's curly,
My hair's straight,
You love things,
that I just hate,
You live in a mansion,
I live in a shack,
Your skin's white,
My skin's black,
Your school's private,
My school's at home,
You've got friends by the hundreds,
But I'm all alone,
You look at me and laugh at my clothes,
But when you think about it, when we're Nothing but bone,
What is the difference?
Nothing I can tell,
No one will know,
Whether we've gone to heaven or hell,
At the end of the day,
We are all the same,
And if there's always equality,
Than good shall remain...
