Color

Something we take for granted

Without it we could not see the beauty around us

But we also see the destruction

The gray the red the black

Red for blood

But also for love

Green for growth

But also for greed

Yellow for sunshine

But also for fire

Blue for oceans

But also for sorrow

They represent some of colors of the rainbow

What a sight

But then it turns to night

But even in darkness there is light

Stars glistening in the sky

Yet with all this beauty, with all this color

We still don’t appreciate it

In fact we abuse it

Color is beauty until it is represented as the color of our skin

Suddenly we become judgemental

Because we are scared of the unknown

That I don’t want be known by the color of my skin

But as a person

As a human being

By my name

Not by my race

Race is just another name for disgrace

Yet we bleed the same color

That it blows my mind that the pigment of someone’s skin defines who they are

Which is wrong

We are defined by our heart and mind

By our purpose

Jesus loves all the children of the world

No matter what color

What culture

What race

He still loves us

So stop this nonsense

This ancient problem that is still an issue today

Take color for its beauty

But don’t judge it

Or you will show your true colors
