I never asked you....

I never asked you,

If you were Black or White.

I never asked you,

If you preferred Blue or Red.

I never asked you,

If you were a Man or Woman.

I never asked you, for anything.

Except, that you pick me up,

When I was crying.

You were nameless, You were faceless,

When I was born.

You would remain the same when I am in my grave.

Then, why is it that you asked,

If I was a boy or a girl when I was born.

Why is it that you asked,

When I was killed, if it was a Black or White.

Why is it that you asked,

When I wanted to live in peace if I preferred Blue or Red.

Why is it that you asked,

When I never asked you.
