Poem Title:
Poem
I come from the twilight Of dusk to dawn Yet I can't stand All around me downtown All in up and around Signs saying of "Whites Only" Mustn't go into that café or restaurant Funny, thing tho! My soft money green, my hard money silver just like yours With all this and all that I am so glad so glad that God ain't no respect of persons.. . . GOD NO COLORED GOD My blood bleeds red, we all have bone marrow tissue Blood flowing through our veins If I were hungry and stolen some bread would you prosecute me Yeah I stole because I was hungry You won't give me a job yet if I had yours I be making $1.64 cents an hour No need to feel sorry for me I didn't make myself I am brown, blue, black, charcoal gray You still react no more signs labeled "Whites Only" Now they're posted permanently in your minds Different land masses hills, valleys, blue grasses GOD NO COLORED GOD The white supremacist, KKK, skinheads only the bad Muslims not the good Anyone who believes in race/color separations We're all brothers (God Is no color GOD) We're all brothers not about the skin its about the soul; We're all brothers not about what's outside but what's within We're all brothers God a No Color God He's spiritual not natural We're all brothers all colors NO colored God God is a no Color God God not a colored God He breathe His spirit into modern clay now we're in dependent voices with free wills Choices all knees will bow "White only-Colored Here" The good the bad ravished happy sad black brown blue purple orange hues Red white you choose cause GOD NO COLORED GOD 06/21/14 written by James Edward Lee Sr.© 2014
