Many Colors

Many Colors
                     Authored by Chuck Keys


There are many colors
Some breed hate
Others hide our fears. 

Vague shades contradict clarity
It can hide guilt but not shame
Colors are an empty value. 

We are pure and proud
When we see colorless
In our hearts as well.

This is an excellent poem. I like the reality of the words as they flow along. The imagery is also wonderful. A colorblind society would be just perfect. Great job! Joseph
