Until Then

Studying history we may find
Too many shortcomings in all mankind
Spiritual growth was left behind
No peace until we are color blind

Until then we cannot be whole
Progress without a plan or goal
Hatred is an acid that takes its toll
Color blindness will cleanse our soul

Hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin
Creating a hell out of the world we are in
Color blindness comes from within
Until then man can never win

One universe, one people, one God above
One word for all and the word is love
The hawk will be defeated by the dove
Peace on earth is what we dream of

All mankind shall be equal someday
Color blindness shall pave the way
Until then we can only pray
For the dawning of a better day.

What great veracity in your words Vince. We share this planet, yet sadly the need for greed and dominance prevails. More beautiful poetry like this may open some eyes to what is truly important on this earth. Bravo! I appreciate your comments on my poetry. I am getting over eye surgery so am not able to be online too long right now. Blessings, Connie

Great job, Vince. I love your rhyme. The words you painted here are absolutely true. I remembered when I thought history to my pupils when I was still working in my country. Good luck always.
