Brother and Sister Colors

Oh flesh of many colors, brothers all are we, placing the Holy Spirit above us on our knees. No matter what we’re labeled by those who sell a grace, when names and slogans start to fly, be calm and hold your place. A yearning, kindly human heart is only satisfied through service to our Father, not willful selfish pride. Attitudes need adjustment for loving, patient deeds: objective understanding not subjective, deceiving creed. Oh flesh of many colors, sisters all are we. Beyond the ego, church, and flag, the truth becomes a plea.
