today God anointed
earth with his tears
and crowned her
with his rainbow
of love
unity and diversity…
as is the day’s light
and the darkness of night
life, unity and pursuit of happiness is not about being colorblind
it’s about beings putting themselves in the right frame of mind…
don’t deny me the happiness of the skin God put me in
let you and me be the color we are---the hue of skin is no sin…
there is no you
without me
there is no
black or white
In the rainbow
and water is clear
as blind is
to sight
never ever
a colorless Christ
yet seen
and oh what a strange bedfellow would a colorless society be
in a world where no one craves blindness and most yearn to see
and be free with life, liberty, unity, justice and human equality…
where you can be you
and I can be me…
one and one being two
living peacefully
forgiven but not forgotten for the sin
yet happily living together in the skins we’re in.
