After hearing about
Another race related crime
I decided to write this



COLOUR'S

What if there were no whites,
Walking about on the streets.
Would someone think it wasn't right,
To see a white man out at night.

Would every colour think about us,
Lowering there heads in disgust.
Or think that's it's all the rage,
To have a whitey for a slave.

I think not,
I think they'd be more tolerate of us.
I often wonder what would they think,
Living next to a white in their streets.

You know colour's have never bothered me,
I always thought they were beautiful you see.
For colour's are around us everywhere,
Not just in the colour's of the world,
But in everything we do and see.

How brilliant a comment that is from 'R.W.S' ! I wanted to remark on your poem too, but she has virtually said everything for me. So I have two bravos' - one for you and one for RWS. Blessings, Allen

I read this and felt sad, but it made me think. While it is true that some people can be cruel, still others possess a great capacity to love- no matter the colour, shape, size or whatever else. People can also learn and adapt, though lately, it seems to be a lost skill or something.

I pray for the peace and safety of all colours.
