Colors of a Man

Oh where do we come from 
That we judge a man by his color
What heritage what rock 
Did we crawl out of 
What seed spawned us
One God 
Or many Gods
One for each color
Or maybe just one for one another
Oh colors what do you call them
When they are worn upon a man
Do you have more admiration 
For the color of a bird 
Than the color of a man

A profound verse, Brian. I often wonder why we judge..and I surmise one thing, unfortunate as it is, "ignorance" and fear..or both. Enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing and welcome to PS Hope you enjoy it here. Don't forget to read and leave comments when you have the time. Always, Annalise
