WHAT IF THE WORLD WERE BLACK-- What if the world were black; I mean every single person all nationalities; All they could see would only be tan, brown, bronze black; How would you react? Would you close your eyes, only if you’re prejudice? Would you say I am yours only if you loved me so? What if the world were all brown; Would you stay around; Does the color of my skin, send you running Toward me to wound or kill Or running away cause you fear; If it were a matter of fact and we were all colored black; How would the Klan, fair… Would they even care; What about all those different religions … Guess what God is no color God; Does it matter to Him at all? Does your spirit soul have a color? What if the world were black; I mean every single person all nationalities; All they could see would only be tan, brown, bronze black; How would you react? Would you close your eyes, only if you’re prejudice? What color are the angels, are they like us; And what about Jesus? Take a look at yourself, look around; Judge no man understand we’re all just clay; Made by Gods majestic hands… Breath of life colorless it’s about the inside not the out; And what about Jesus? Take a good look at yourself? 2/28/19 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2019 -----From forthcoming anthology “Reality Realm”
