Why won’t you hold my hand?
Please make me understand
If I could chose the race I want
I’d keep the secret and not flaunt!
Why won’t you look at me?
Does my image bring back memories
Of when you also couldn’t see
Beyond the racial boundaries
Why won’t you speak to me again?
Or whisper what we know is true
Instead of walking on in shame
I implore you to hold my hand
Hold my hand through thick and thin
Let’s not build a Berlin Wall
Let us not begin a sin
Or forever we shall fall
So brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers
Blacks, whites, pinks and yellows
Isn’t it time to get together?
Unite and love your global fellows
I'm interested in people who are different races than I am, though. If we got to know each other, I might try to find out in what ways your views and your culture are different from mine. I think I learn even from the things I read on AD by various authors.
We're all kinds here, that's a fact! I enjoyed this challenging poem.
A belated welcome to you...hope you like AD!

P.S. By the way, this is not to confuse you. I have two ID's here in the den, and this one I'm using now to comment you is of a Lifetime Basic free membership that I had acquired years ago when I first joined AD.
My two links are:

I'll hold your hand, as I hold your heart and words close to my own!
WE all bleed RED blood!

Unity is KEY! if only others believed! This world would be a lot more happy!

First of all let me welcome you to AD, and second of all let me say that I could not agree with you more, we should all be color blind
In Christs Love

So beautiful and caring towards the prejudices of people.
