The Color White

The Color White To ponder on the color chart What colors dominate our life Alas, the shades of black and white may only favor day and night The color black is very dark devoid of character and traits But white is space so infinite To designate a peoples race And adjectives so positive awaiting colors to arrive A brave new world should document Ethnicity from life to death A revolution oe’r the years What colors entered to discern contribute more so we can learn And contribute to our earth In many countries of our globe And tribes become diversified No monarchy to ply our genes As animals are bred to match The wonders of Ethnicity Of customs, cultures and a dream To love a world of day and night The difference is a pure delight What is White Contest Sponsored by Debbie Guzzi January 14, 2018 (My folks came from Italy, my wife is Colombian. my grand children share those genes along with India and Puerto Rico)

Wonderful. i second that. I live in Johannesburg and the beauty as well as the tension is right in my face every day. At the moment I am in Istanbul and the mix of people there, is just as amazing. Many wishes, Kai

It was nice to see your feelings on the color white, Ralph and also to know your origins. You've got some great genes there!! (by the way, your poem has copied twice on this page)
