White Is White

White Is White

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

All things being equal

"

White Is White


There can be only one color, white

Others would cause confusion

Light beams have certain properties

To move this process along

To burn the soul completely

To sterilize the imperfections

Being perfect has advantages too

Humans once were white

Extermination was inevitable

Androids found them to be not quite white enough

Termination was the obvious solution

Pure white machines walk the night with eighteen feet

Melt the imperfections with enlightenment

Nature must be reclaimed, returned

For no other reason than to keep the peace

There can only be white once and for all

Being white is the law

The law is right

Order is the only reason

White is white for a reason

hmmmmmmmmmmmm my thoughts go in several directions with this one Earl .. can be satirical on white supremacy; could be white supremacy; obviously futuristic apocalypse; could be the white light the spirit of the living God ;)
