Let Color Be


Please explain to me the meaning of color The black and the white when mixed is no other For you have to place the people in boxes Why should you have the right to look us in our faces It is unfair and down right unnatural Why so unjust and excuse the word, but why so racist? All of us are human and made of bone and flesh What would make color the difference We all love and sin the same Color should be not looked but felt and so beautiful! Let us be the same, and I promise together we can be the change.

I am 17 years old and I love love. I want people to see the way I see which is beauty in everyone. The only flaw in everyone should be imperfection, not according to our appearances. Amen? (:

<p>My favorite part of this poem, the part when it speaks of the lamp,, and the light that flickers in the darkness of the mind</p>

All of us are human and made of bone and flesh What would make color the difference We all love and sin the same Color should be not looked but felt and so beautiful! Let us be the same, and I promise together we can be the change. those lines itself speaks the truth-we all bleed red what makes up different should bring the community closer-spread this msg all across the world great job and keep writing
