Poem Title:
Poem
The concept of being is inside the mind It has no color nor shape or form Perceptions of a skin-colored soul will find Hate spewed words and thoughts are taught to conform To preach to those who can't be preached to where understanding is beyond reason and an argument is religious in its belief where they alone hold the keys to Heaven This covering of white is of itself...nothing earned or bought, rather happenstance...yet which colored skin has betrayed its own species more whether through conquest or deception? which colored skin has brought about two world wars or the holocaust? caused more disease, more poverty history is written by the bloody hands of one race they print the books, they record the events whether true or not they hang the man, for being a different color of all the covered souls white is the most confused as they have marched through history with grapes in one hand swords in the other, crying out for the helpless while causing the very existence of the helpless as they spread disease and poverty as a weapon to control and in some cases wipe them from the face of the Earth they worship a God, born of another color...yet change this color to white then see all other races as unfit for this white God that they believe created all life and is perfect in every way except in the creation of other colors covering the souls but... for the rebels that seek the truth that all are created equal even in the eyes of their creator whom they've turned white to appease some inner demon to ask why...to dwell in the minds of those who judge who worship a God that tells them not to judge and find a reason for their argument with their own God how self-righteous can a white covered soul be? 1/11/18 contest What is White
