No matter how the world spins or how many years go by.
The color of my skin is what I'm judged by.
I can't get a good job, because I'm just that dark.
I wonder, if I was light skinned, would they check my record.
I have a degree, all the requirements they need.
But yet and still, they choose a white man over me.
I speak proper grammar, I respect any and everyone.
No tattoos on my body, I can't offend anyone.
I don't understand why, I would like to know when.
I to could get a good job, and not be judged by my skin.
i know the feeling. only with me the judge me by my age. people should be hired because they are right for the job. not because they are white or black woman or man or boy or girl. this poem was well said. don't give up.
