White Fades To Black

White fades to Black

Be it stroke or a heart attack 

Techno Color Schemes 

Streaming in at the end of our dreams


Differences unveiled

Who's the Spectator or the ones on parade

Colorful Costumes galore 

No need for bigotry, hate or war


Autumn leaves fall down

Into the earth home is found

What ends ends the same

Black to the future then back again


Black is a Fact ~ NO more Racist attacks ~ White fades to Black

Sadly racism will continue, untill we stop looking at someone as a colour..

Would that everyone who is a racist, could be re-incarnated as a person they hate; would racism still exist? Love the, "Techno Color Schemes"; the "white fading to black"; sounds a lot like a Zen Koan. Beautiful.

Arturo, I was so touched by the video, thank your for sharing it with us. I never knew all of this. I feel good that at least one person, Joe, truly loved her for herself. and your poem is good also with many great lines - into earth home is found - well done ~
