Skin, a map of histories untold, a spectrum painted, in stories old. But eyes, they narrow, judge, and then they claim, a difference forged, in prejudice's flame. Words, like stones, they bruise and then they break, a whispered slur, a promise they forsake. Homes, once sanctuaries, turn to battlegrounds, where fear takes root, and silence harshly sounds.
