WHY DO WE JUDGE?
Why do you judge by the color of skin?
It is only a layer that bones are wrapped in
Beneath the skin we are all the same
Too bad you don’t see that . . . sigh . . . what a shame
We were all created out of the same mold by the same hands
We changed our looks when we relocated to foreign lands
We have the same needs
and should live by the same creeds
But out of the lust for material things and greed
we continue along this path at an alarming speed
As a collective we turn a blind eye
and then question why things have gone awry
We are so divided and spread so far apart
I often cry because it breaks my heart
Oh my beloved human race
we would be in big trouble if challenged by outer space
Because someone is too dark or too light --too rich or too poor
These are the rules we live by when holding the door
Each generation is passing this nonsense to the next
and we wonder why they have no respect
Wake up and open your third eye for the first time
Free your mind, body and soul so WE will no longer be blind
Start by crawling, then baby steps, then standing up tall
before long we will tear down the wall
the wall that binds us from becoming one
One nation under God
Let's start right now . . . together . . . it is not that hard
I am sooo sorry that america is so divided, one of my aims in life is to halt slaves...yes there are still millions and shame America as we were a few 100 yrs back..
When in texas and alabama i went to blacks only, even though i'm white, just to show...hey other than your pigmant is better than mine, so whats the deal.... boeing milary heard and came with me on blacks night... HUH no brit can accept that just the colour of ones skin makes any diffo... i never knew but the next day on tha USAF base were ladies who saw me, yup black..but lol i was treated like a king...i just hope my small effort made some diffo....

April this is an outstanding poem "Why Do We Judge"
Your words are all so true and real I feel this same way.
We are all "United Through Love" one and the same, and yet many never know this!
Thank you for sharing,
