The Color of a Man’s Character

We all bleed

And cleave to

Those we leave

 

We all smile when we are greeted

And cry when we are mistreated

 

Why do we choose to abuse others

For the color of their skin?

 

Why do we think that only

Our own color should win?

 

We’re all the same underneath

We all deserve peace

When we lay down to sleep

 

Love one another while you can

Show your son how to be gracious

The color of a man’s character

Is how he treats his fellow Man.

I LOVE THIS. I mean LOVE IT. Racism is so STUPID and POINTLESS. I don't hate anything but I am honestly CLOSE TO HATING racism. It's IGNORANT.!!!!

Wow, Marie. So profound. So encouraging. So... simple. And yet we make it a difficult task to accomplish. But it only takes ONE push to set the wheels in motion. Thank you, Marie.
