A World That Works For Everyone

The idiocy of color-ism keeps me awake!
I see us all in a twit over something insane.
I am white, Caucasian they call it.
But will we all have to have tests one day to prove such 
idiocy?

Will Smith not Black enough to get a role as the Williams sisters father?
How utterly mad, Hollywood has eroded to this racial lather.
Ben Kingsley played Gandhi,hardly was the same color!

We all are far more mixed nationalities than we ever considered,
We've morphed into a PC, color ridden planet.
For God's sake~ we are human beings
first and colors,second!

Do you think heaven will have lines for people  of color first?
Doubtful, but that's how it's becoming here on earth!
Equality? Give me a break!
We are all so talented but I cannot be created equal as a poet to 
anyone here.
That's up to me, to let my poems shine.

At birth, some with maladies are born.
And to various economic households, too.
What's the hue and cry! God gives us different talents, not 
to one but to all.
The government here thinks THEY can make us equal, a horrid 
lie.
What nonsense,what propaganda the Smart TV vomits.

Do your best with the talents you have,
Work very hard and be most happy in all you pursue.
Being envious of others hurts me and you, too.
Please realize there are people, no matter how much you give them,
Will hate you even the more, sorry, it is true.
Like spoiled children in candy stores.

Nothing to feel morbidly guilty about at all.
We all are imperfect, that's for sure.
There are many doing great things for all nations,
Never told on your TV station!
Like many hunger operations in effect right now.

I wish we would see the amazing good that humans do.
Not all the horrid protests that destroy cities like Paris.

Mon Dieux!

Caren, I really want a world that works for everyone. That's basically the premise of this poem. It will never happen in a you vs. me world. Or in a world of blame on one man or one nation. I may change the titile you saw..thanks, Panagiota
