WHAT IF THE WORLD WERE BLACK-- What if the world were black; I mean every single person all nationalities; All they could see would only be tan, brown, bronze black; How would you react? Would you close your eyes, only if you’re prejudice? Would you say I am yours only if you loved me so? What if the world were all brown; Would you stay around; Does the color of my skin, send you running Toward me to wound or kill Or running away cause you fear; If it were a matter of fact and we were all colored black; How would the Klan, fair… Would they even care; What about all those different religions … Guess what God is no color God; Does it matter to Him at all? Does your spirit soul have a color? What if the world were black; I mean every single person all nationalities; All they could see would only be tan, brown, bronze black; How would you react? Would you close your eyes, only if you’re prejudice? What color are the angels, are they like us; And what about Jesus? Take a look at yourself, look around; Judge no man understand we’re all just clay; Made by Gods majestic hands… Breath of life colorless it’s about the inside not the out; And what about Jesus? Take a good look at yourself? 2/28/19 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2019 -----From forthcoming anthology “Reality Realm”

Oh, I do wish we were all the same color. It does not have to be black. It could be red or green or blue. Blue would be fun. What a much more kind world it could be, for how could we be prejudiced against others due to outside appearance? We would all have to have PINK hair too though, of course. Love it!
