SOUL – ‘The spiritual or immaterial part of a human being’. SKIN/ EPIDERMIS – ‘The outer layer of cells covering an organism’.

Just a layer of cells covering the soul, whilst the shades of skin may vary, the essence of the soul remains intact.  

It’s just a wall of difference either you stand accused of being a racist or stand behind being a victim.   

Since when did the value of skin weigh more than the soul?  

The torment of pain, the redness in the blood, the salt in our tears, the fear of the dark, the warmth in the sun. Don’t we perceive them all?  

Why has the colour of the eye, pigment of the skin, texture of the hair concern more?
