Colored

“COLORED!”

I’m lighter colored, brown colored, “white” colored, WHITE.
You’re darker colored, brown colored, “black” colored, BLACK.
But WHITE brown colored or BLACK brown colored… 
We’re all brown COLORED.

” COLORED!”

I really enjoyed it and yes you don't need to write a long poem to get your point across. God looks at all his children with loving eyes. He loves all of us no matter what color.,,, We are all brothers and sisters. Thank you for sharing this poem,,, Jacqui

I love it. Inside We're actually just one color. This was great.

Noel, good one. People might misunderstand you. I don't ! Take off the outer skin, we are all the same. Once you see an autopsy,you get it. I did! However, being a color tops how good a person is, in a world awash with political correctness. A sad thing for any color. We are not crayons, anyway.there are no white people..all have colored skin. We are all equally human. Panagiota

Panagiota, My goal is to bring us all together, through words. I'm glad you see that!
