Soul of one black
and one white;
Both watched their corpse,
Lying with no life;
Surrounded by friends and kin,
Before laying in burial box,
Preparing burial rites;
From infinite space,
A sole of black man said;
On the earth,
I was unprivileged black,
And you a white superior race;
Now we are different,
Only invisible hollow spirits;
Formed of energy,
With no color in us;
None is less, none is more,
We are same and one;
Black and white,
Product of destructive minds;
Hell and heaven,
Boon and bane,
All lie in mind,
As long as we are alive on earth;
Once we leave the body,
We are one only one sprite;
