Equality Among Differences

Before you pull the trigger for that person’s color, don’t’ you already know that the calm, peaceful, and refreshing shade of a tree holds a color? Have you ever been angry at a tree for its shade? Shall we cut down the tree for its dull complexion? A loving hand can be like a shade from a tree, white or black. Let’s not cut down each other like an axe to a tree, but realize we can give shade to all despite our differences. Before we judge each other as if we have the authority to balance our deeds on the God’s scale, know this: We can throw off our chains of petty restrictions that dull our perspective of the simple love we can share with each other, not just family and friends, but with every soul that needs the refreshment of mercy and kindness. A wolf will stalk a herd of sheep, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, but we, the sheep will come to the defense of our own. Sometimes wolves come alone, lurking, and hungry, but there are some sheep which are disguised, therefore being a wolf in sheep’s skin. Know the people who want to help, but also know the ones who speak out to the crowd, blowing their horns to make peace, but only with their own logic, understanding, and their side. I tell you the truth, this matter won’t disappear from a rioting crowd, but only if every one of us behind the T.V. watching and also the people in the trenches stand up for love and equality. This will take the whole world to mend this wound of hatred that we are consumed with. Those that dwell inside their head and not their heart will only have a halfhearted answer for everything. Their voice will be a short and brilliant light only to be snuffed out by other. We have to search within us and find unity with your spirit, soul, mind, and heart. Once you have dealt with your planks in your eyes, then and only then can you see like those who are hurting and suffering. Lower yourself to those around you and be a helping hand and you will know that the color of your skin really doesn’t matter at all. If you were injured and the only person that could help would be a different color, would you not let them help? How foolish we are to lock a bird in a cage because one bird is brighter and another duller when they both sing the same, beautiful, and loving song. Do not stand feeling like you must bow to each other due to your skin, but know that when the Creator made us that He wants us to thrive and bow to Him, for He is the only way we can heal from this.
