I’m in no way prejudiced she said
But that one is white and that one is mixed
Skin color prominent in her head
Always remarking on it; her mind fixed...

You answer the questions about my skin color
You answer the questions about my features
You answer the questions about my intelligence

God you are the one who made me...

still
for the glory of 
our 
blackness
to fulfill our destiny
as beautiful as
the 
curtains of Solomon
expressed in our skin color
as free as the wind
look what God has done...

It doesn't matter your skin color
Weither blue, orange, brown or indigo
It's of no use
What matters is the purpose it serves
So chose wisely
We are made and unmade by our own decisions
Nature only produces the circumstances....

Call me names and cry
To your lonely and sad lies
I’m stronger than you!

****If someone tells you they are better 
because of their skin color, 
They are just miserable  with their 
 envy feelings and lost soul....

Can you see me?
Skin dark,
Eyes brown,
Blood Red
Anger has shown.
I am someone's
Son, nephew, grandchild
Even in a world so cruel
Where violence is everywhere.

Can you see me?
A man with a heart
Not my skin color
Or my class
But see me as a human being.

It’s you I like…
Not your lifestyle
Not your sexual preference
Not your political persuasion
Not your skin color
Not your nationality
Not your choice of religion
Not your lineage
Not your wealth or poverty
   —it’s you I like

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)...

Sad
this Child
was hated
for her color
what's worse is in two thousand twenty-one

children are still hated for skin color
why are people
prejudiced
we need 
change

you hate me

why

because how i wear my hair

or the way i dress or

the way i walk

or the way i talk

maybe because i'm a female or male

or my skin color  is not right

no that's not what it is 

you hate me  because your not me

you hate me because i'm me...

the term China girl

reduces me 
to nobody 
defines me
by my skin color
singles me out
as a misfit 

it strips me
of all that I am--
poet 
college graduate
the “it” girl
the beauty and brains

which matters not
to you--
in your world
I’m only a girl
with no worth attached...

They entered politics with a black I.Q.
and voted black for others
When taking in their black born sons
and gathing for brothers

That making it their black born sum
was taken home to others
When raking in their black born funds
for faking honed to n'others


Author's Notes: Don't hire a man
for his skin color or you insult
the man....

why must we all do harm to each other?
we're we not created equal?
who is one to judge another?
no one is perfect
skin color hair color the clothes we wear
why must this matter?
you can't judge a book by its cover
we all need to look deep down
look inside to see what each of us has
we are all special in God's eyes
isn't he the only one who should matter?...

My dreams are simple, noble and yet true.
To be seen without judgement.
No more locking of car doors as I cross the street.
To be handed the bill when the meal is complete.
Not to be assumed guilty by the police.
To be looked upon as an equal.
My dream is to be treated fair.
Treated like my skin color doesn’t make a difference.
To be shown the kindness of being human
My dream...

                 Sharing the Stars
                        *****

No matter your skin color nor political orientation,
We are most truly united, by sharing the same stars.
Amazingly, a most peaceful summation!
Our diversity, so peaceful, in God's brilliant light-show.
His nightly, divine, twinkling constellations.

Love,
Panagiota

To those who are different.

If you are made fun of cause who you are.
Laughed at because your skin color or Faith.
Bullied because your different.
Being who you are is the greatest thing you can be.
Not being afraid of what they think about you
Or what they say.
Life is awesome 
If you don't worry what other people think
Dance,Sing,or whatever you heart out
And let no one tell you otherwise 
Your just being Human....

Our eyes see skin color, 
ears hear only our own views 
Mouths speak hatred. 
Hands do not reach out to help. 
Hearts that cannot love mankind. 

Spirits are broken, 
morals shoved to the wayside. 
Values sold for cash, 
ideals never came to pass. 
Souls that never knew comfort. 

Mankind is finite. 
The universe is vast. 
How do we justify 
all that we could have been, yet 
allowed ourselves to wallow...

Beware, if your skin color is other than brown!
    Kamala Harris announced that in town.

    Save people of color first, that’s equity?
    So, if she lived there, she has superiority?

    Her husband, being white, can just drown?
    Far-left equity, has put its big foot down!

    Better get some dye for your evil white skin.
    So that your skin matches IdiAmen?

I am a cartoonist, a painter, a clandescent poet.
I paint in neons – pinks, greens, yellows and blues.
The background is sometimes done up in purple before I know it.
I start with the skin color, making it a variety of hues.
Beige might work for others, but I use coppers, silvers and pink.
I throw in some oranges every time I do think.
For I am an artist, a painter, a poet.
Colors are everything, don’t you know it?...

We are all equal
Except don’t drive when black.
We’ll get you 
It’s our right

We are all equal
Except if you wear a hoodie
We suspect you are a thug
Unless you are white

We are all equal
Except when we see your skin color
and immediately remember 
Every person we ever saw who wronged us and was your color

Wait a second.
What if we never met anyone with your skin color?
How can we judge you?
Let me Google this....

Tennesseans probably won't like what I have to say.
The majority of them were racist on election day.
The majority of Tennesseans admitted that they voted the way they did because of race.
If I had voted against Obama because of his skin color, it would be hard for me to face.
It's sad that most of my fellow Tennesseans voted against him because he's black.
Tennesseans need to change because racial harmony is something that they lack....

Listen to poem:

To claim no purpose for this toxic state,
other than hate or desired submission.
To find a spirit chained to the walls of circumstance,
by birth and denied just cause, 
because of skin color.
To struggle in the land of the free,
trapped in a quagmire of unreasonable eyes,
fighting the cold hands of society wrapped around your throat,
making it hard to breathe,
in the noxious gas that is this toxic state.
