This is a great poem. there is so much imagery. "telephone the power-house that the main wires are insulate" is like saying that there is electrical tape on the wires that are the feelings that they have for each other. "then with your toung remove the tape" is like saying remove the hesitation, fear and uncertainty that we might have about each other.

I think you are exactly right... people never look into the person to see how great they really are they look at the color of there skin. Racisim is still going on and should be stopped!!!!!!
