White, Black, Yellow And Brown

The colours of the skin
 white, black, yellow and brown
 show the  distinctions  in tone
white  commands a superiority
 know not for  what
the lighter you are
 the great you feel
the dark skin   is scorned
 know not for what
 the  darker you are
the bad you feel
 the yellow is a standby for gold
 still it does not hold you in esteem
 the yellow race is in between
know not for what
the mild  coloured you are
 the soft you feel
not white,  not black is brown
the brown  invites a frown
 know not for what
 the intermediary is not appreciated
the middle you are in
 nowhere you feel
 that be the  tone of the skin
white, black, yellow and brown.
