The Color of Death

I wrote this poem (above) in creative writing. We each got a picture from a magazine and had to write something about it. I got an interracial couple. But this picture is different. The people in my picture are walking in the snow and the woman is standing behind the tree. I read an article about this in the news. A newlywed Interracial couple in cali was bound, beaten, and shot just for being with each other. Police thought it was a robbery gone bad, but the murders wrote racial slurs on their walls. Police thought that only white people could commit a racial crime, but it was really 4 black men. It's a shame that some of us only look at the color of the skin instead of what's inside.
