Absolute Complexity

What creed are we following? 
How do I know who is behind 
Humiliating manipulations? 
The creed I know is sad; 
White, black, pale and brown 
Short, tall, rich and poor, 
Named after nations, beliefs, 
Religions and sectors. 
None is there whom you really 
Can call 'a Global citizen'. 
What had He in view, shaping 
Man in the best of moulds, was 
Nothing but the beauty so 
Promising as colors mingle! 
We wronged in knowing 
A design so divine! 
Spreading ruin and ban 
Turned all colors into one; 
The brightest red of all 
Races, using refined weapons!
