(Or maybe I don't understand...Love can fix a lot of problems)

I thought I was free,
and here we are in 2008
discussing race and gender in a
national presidential race
with white , black and woman
You may not want to believe it,
but the world still today look
at my color before making an
approval of my request.
Yes or No is determined
mostly by my attitude.

You say Yes because it is
illegal to say no.
Sometimes you don't care.
You say No when you
weigh ones own color chart 
in accordance with your
Assumed Superiority.

We may attend different
churches, but we are the same
family of God, I hope...
Drop your weapons of hate
Don't wait until its too late
To love your neighbor.
TRUE LOVE!

Louisa A Dobbins

Hi Louisa,a very powerful and good poem.The way that I look at this world,this world is like a big box of ice cream.There are indeed different flavors,but each of them is delicious and fine just the way they are.People should love their neighbors,family members,friends or even a stranger.I enjoy reading this poem,take care
