America's Thirst
"Black Man Murders White Cop!"
"White Man Shoots Up Black Church!"
"School Shooter Targets Christians!"
Media paints the canvas of
The world in black and white.
The canvas is torn and taped
Back together, the cracks filled
In and covered up like they were
Never there. Ignorance is bliss, and
What isn't seen isn't there, right?
Unfortunately, the thirst for
Hatred erased all of the
Colors of the rainbow, and
Pitted the two remaining, black
And white, against each other.
It's impossible to paint the entire
World in one color and expect
It to be beautiful, unique, creative.
One cannot just take away colors
That are vital to such a masterpiece.
