Colorblind

Black yellow red brown and white

I’m not racist I am color blind born without sight

Its something you can learn and keep within

How can you judge a person by the color of they’re skin

You don’t have to like everyone but you should show respect

Why are you violent against other maybe you suffered some neglect

Shouting words of anger and burning of cross 

These hurt others but it’s your great humanitarian loss

Get to know the person and in them discover

Never ever judge a book by its cover

If you want to make it through heavens gate

Be colorblind and don’t give into evil and hate

It sure is wonderful when color is unimportant, just the spirit shines through. We all have a contribution and you said it beautifully!
