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
