Until Then

Studying history we may find Too many shortcomings in all mankind Spiritual growth was left behind No peace until we are color blind Until then we cannot be whole Progress without a plan or goal Hatred is an acid that takes its toll Color blindness will cleanse our soul Hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin Creating a hell out of the world we are in Color blindness comes from within Until then man can never win One universe, one people, one God above One word for all and the word is love The hawk will be defeated by the dove Peace on earth is what we dream of All mankind shall be equal someday Color blindness shall pave the way Until then we can only pray For the dawning of a better day.

What great veracity in your words Vince. We share this planet, yet sadly the need for greed and dominance prevails. More beautiful poetry like this may open some eyes to what is truly important on this earth. Bravo! I appreciate your comments on my poetry. I am getting over eye surgery so am not able to be online too long right now. Blessings, Connie

Great job, Vince. I love your rhyme. The words you painted here are absolutely true. I remembered when I thought history to my pupils when I was still working in my country. Good luck always.
