My Skin Is Dark But My Heart Is White

My Skin is Dark but my Heart is White which is a symbol of purity Your skin is white but heart is dark filled with full of evil, wickedness and impurity. Your mind is full of evil thoughts, Your Mouth is full of curses, bitterness, lies, threats, trouble And evil and hatred are under your tongue. For out of your heart you are secret backbiter, slanderer, gossiper, Hater of God, haughty, arrogant, jealousy and boastful. Why do you hate Dark Skin? For God loves the whole human race. Why are you so ignorant to see? God made us all different God created everything different So everyone can be different Although we are different from others We are still special in Gods eyes Having different abilities, and different Gifts. To me God's incredible grace is sufficient You must have a good heart in order to understand I don't think you will ever fully understand We share the same earth, same air and same water We share the same moon, same sun, same sky and same rain And we are all created by the image of God No color is better than the other God wants us to value each other. Sin and arrogance have divided us from one another All the things God creates are in perfect harmony with each other God cares for all and He doesn't like it when people are mean to each other. Bible says we are given a new heart and a new spirit. Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Very nice write, lot's of truth and meaning. Just wondering about the acrostic, couldn't find any, maybe change the form to free verse. Well done!
