Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

End Racism

Don't hate the color of skin
Hate what comes from within
Where do we begin
When will it end
Your children could be mine
And mine yours 

I would love and protect them
I trust you would too
I would break bread with you 
I pray you would too

Someday we will meet in Heaven
Why should we die to do so
Lend me your hand
Look me in the eye
And know that I love you

Stand beside me 
Help me to be your friend
Your brother
Sons of our mothers
Just as our Father
Meant us to be

Tom Cunningham April 20, 2019 at 6:15 PM Well said Timothy, I hope racists' of all colours see this one. We're not black ,white, yellow or whatever, we're all human beings. Happy Easter to you and yours. Tom

Panagiota Romios April 20, 2019 at 1:17 PM Great message. Recall in the Garden of Eden..God decided to make life difficult for us all by creating different colors and languages. I agree with you....stop the race talk all together. People are not evil because of skin colors. The fourth estate LOVES us to believe its going to get worse or is worse.,baloney to them! God is forgotten. Glad you love all. Panagiota Panagiota
