Embrace every colorA Poem by butterflyreactions from George Floyd news. Something must get right here. I felt very restless all day. So writing it out.
Outside I can see the fiery sky
God calls me to look out the window I listen to Diane Birch We need to Rise up Nothing but a miracle keeps us holding on I see the fire in your eyes I see the anger flowing through earth tonight Maybe that's the reason why there is so much heat The red earth bleeds mother nature seeks to heal She also feels what we feel How do we deal? Did you find the answers in the cities burning down Why the white police officers knelt on the black man while on the ground Why not put him in the back car instead of taking his dead heart Till he couldn't breathe He died so swiftly All due to a counterfeit 20 dollar bill? Is that the price for a life now forever still? Then the autopsy says he wasn’t choked Earth doesn’t laugh at this joke Outside the window I see the red and gray smoke Clouds trying to burn out the memory of this dark all around No matter how we try we can no longer stay blind So open the window See the lies Draw the line So no more black life now or another night Black lives matter How easily officers drop them to shatter Ask yourselves how does the white stars shine without the ebony night We need them both. Both have power Yet they try to drown out every black person in less than an hour Embrace every color The yellow, the red, the black, the white and everything in between Jungle fever is high now in this time I am yellow and white The white side only see my almond shaped eyes The Asians only see my white pale skin and who i married for my last name All of this is naturally gained. California is my home place. I was born on this land on this line. Still never truly accepted by each side. Yet I am a part of the rhythm nation I always hear the angels sing on every station Be kind to the beautiful souls no matter what shell it dwells in Like God commanded love one another It means to embrace every color We are a rainbow because He is our rainbow in the sky Why did He make it appear after Noah’s Ark We are reflections of His heart When you kill the black man, When you rape the black lady When you harm one another When you harm the LGBT Baby You hurt Him The devil wins So tonight yell at the demons within Tell them to leave forever Racism, COVID-19 we can survive together No pandemic can’t survive HIS stormy weather Do you believe? Can we forgive and start a new Can you accept the unisex signs on the restroom Can we hold the ones responsible for ugly truth My best friends are blackI protest for them too She saved me from a Vegas death He is my eternal defender and eternal loneliness I will not be a pretender I stand against racism forever I love one another Embrace every color I look outside the window As the sky light fades i know He will be here always Shining His rainbow Hopefully its not too late We can still learn from our mistakes Start with love, for love conquers when we love one another we embrace every color We have all been victims of racism This is a pandemic here since the beginning of time Lately I agree its hardest on the black life So be kind because without the black how do your own colors shine They deserve grace, the time for change is here Draw the line no more this time No more tears to cry No more targets to burn down only peace can be found But there is a lot of work to do The responsible must take responsibility for the truth Help find forgiveness to heal the scars So many broken lives Broken hearts This time we can draw the line We can only heal each other By loving one another every sister and brother child and boy let earth feel once again that lost joy She searches she only sees herself burn We all go to churches yet the racism still returns Why does the white lady put her signs on each San Leandro house Telling the Asians to go back to their land I dont understand We are mad We might as well burn everything down Traditional life is not working now More life dies too many to count one out of a hundred falls to the demons Pray because they try to separate us from God Conquer with your love Then maybe we will find assistance from the heavens above When we learn to love one another This time we can draw the line We can truly be pro-life With a life full of honor All the babies will be safer Without any real danger Without truth stranger than fiction With love and a way for a peaceful destination When we can love one another We embrace every color
