Black and White

No human is black No human is white God is the artist His palette is light The rays of the sun Show skin as pale tan To darkest mahogany Arrayed as a fan Of red tints and yellows Of browns in all shades The plight of the human Is anger and rage Blindness to beauty Painted by God And blaming ill fate On outward facade Ignoring Gods gifts Is man’s greatest sin A human’s true beauty Reflects from within

Thank you again John... I have been working on this poetry thing for way too long... LOL... but I really try to say things is a way that a few might be able to see what is the truth... rather what they are being told to believe... what is happening on this planet... that is our greatest gift from God... is simply a sin... so sad...God bless you...

We ignore God to our own peril. Thanks for entering my contest. Blessings Rick.

Thank you for allowing my thoughts and voice to be heard.... the world is in peril... by choice of the few who do not comprehend... that we all come into the world a blank slate... and everyday is a new chance to do what is right or wrong... that is God's version of Black and White... and cannot be ignored... someone doing the wrong thing... does not give anyone else an excuse to to the wrong thing... God bless you... JVD

The 'race' is human... and I cannot begin to comprehend what these people are thinking... Why hate? If they would only use this abundant negative energy for the positive... what a wonderful world there could be... thank you... and God bless you
