The Colour of My Heart

The deeper that we look inside we find The less there is to tell us all apart Distinctions that exist inside the mind Retreat before the colour of the heart We are not better than nor are we worse Regardless of our size or shape or shade For if our differences were reversed We'd see the folly of such mad charade The irony that prejudice reveals Transparency of ignorance and hate Is that with certainty they both conceal The wondrous beauty of life's shared estate In truth, despite our different design The colour of your heart's the same as mine December 2, 2018 Colour of my heart Poetry Contest sponsored by John Hamilton
