A Turning Point In Life Is Equality Writings in a Black Perspective.... The day will come when all will be the same color The mingling with the neighbor Just like it was in the beginning No one will have a rainbow blinder Harriet Tubman, born a slave Devoted to save Those that wanted freedom Not sold or enslave Jackie Robinson was given a rough time For being black in all white baseball teams, in his prime Couldn’t not sleep or dine with his teammates At anytime Rosa Parks sat in the front Of the designated black section, indignant She refused to give her seat to a white passenger. She was arrested for the incident I went through life suffering racial discrimination So I harden my soul because of rejection A turning point in life is equality And our salvation 3/16/2015

Eve - Love your poem. I've shown it to my 11 year old son who still has difficulty understanding how someone can be disliked or discriminated against because of the colour of their skin. He is lucky to mix in a multicultural society and accepts people for who they are. I hope more of his peers think like him as he grows, but I fear not and he too will one day face discrimination.

Thank you, Tricia, for your wonderful comment.. I hope he will never have to see the discrimination, but you do have it out there in this world. Hugs Eve
