Poem
Kaleidoscope The color of brilliance The flesh covered soul The world is divided By rage and control The Lord gave us image Filled it with thought Colored us different Diversity was sought He granted us life Built us a home Meadows and lakes This beauty we’re shown He gave us the freedom To make our own choice To coward to others Or strengthen our voice He gave us a will With each goes a face Colored with pride Destroyed by all race Imagine the world If all were the same The color was gray “IT” was our name Imagine the boredom The teachings we’d lack No fantasy dreams All matter of fact Indifference is needed It makes our mind seek The person within That makes us unique It takes a strong person To back their beliefs Who never backs down To bigots and thieves Be proud of yourself Yet never too proud To drop to your knees To thank God out loud Destroying God’s vision With all he intends Blinded by color The loss of a friend Imagine the world If all were the same Neither woman nor man All one just to blame Would that be the answer Perfection defined No one is unique Nor one of a kind No one with dreams Nothing to learn Loss of all love Lack of concern Born just to die No in between What in our world Would all of this mean All of God’s colors Shows us away Gives us direction Not written in gray By: Terri Lynn Vienneau
