Right On

C an you see my heart on my sleeve
O r my feeling know by the shade of my skin?
L ittle is known of what's inside by the colors therein.
O r do you imply from the color of my eyes that I am bright or dull?
R arely it seems do the colors of beings do more than show the hull. 

B right minded minions formed from light
L inger and fight for a colorful night
I n countries scattered all over the world
N uance is cherished and evil dispelled.
D own with hatred and prejudice we're all the same!
N o right minded person can make lesser claim.
E qualize, equate, energize light
S o all of us can dwell in a 
S afe colorful  right!

Debbie, I enjoyed reading your acrostic tonight. If only more people practiced this way of thinking. Best wishes in the contest and thank you for giving me the info for pasting pics. I was able to add one to my kimo tonight. It took a few tries but I did it! Blessings, Rhonda
