Absence of Color

Up and down motion
  waved in
Looking right into the mouth of sin
  Hands down
looking around town
  for the one who would love me for me
then the we can begin
  Damned to be in a world
of selfishness,
  hatred
and betrayal
  The veil that blankets me
only he can tell
  Shaded with the absence of color
Beautiful I am
  but... still the rainbow I seek
The remembrance of the destruction of the weak
  Meek I am
just like a baby
  Hoping one day he would save me
Save me from damnation and segregation

I thought I did. I gave you a seven for it "The veil that blankets me only he can tell Shaded with the absence of color Beautiful I am Is the best part for me. at one time in my life I mistakenly thought segregation was over; but now I can see that we still have along ways to go let. It may not happen in my lifetime, but I pray to God it does in yours.

Very good, I liked format that you used I could not see anything wrong with it. I know our Savor has you already in his arms just believe that. As far segregation goes I thought one time we had got pass that but I can see we still have a lot work to do let. Hang in there it might be my generation that gets it done, but it might be yours.
