When I worte this piece I had just watch a program on television. Now I don't remember which program so I can't repeat the name or tell what it was about. But I guess from my writing you'll get the idea of what it was about. Hope you like it!

What would it be like....
Our world without color?
How could we tell the difference
Of anything?
Wouldn’t we all just blend in
A little too much?
Would our lives be any fun?
If the Seasons we couldn’t tell apart
If we couldn’t see the colors of the rainbow
If we couldn’t wear that beautiful red dress
And those killer pair of heels
You get my drift?
What about you and me
Would you be happier if my kind didn’t exist?
If this world were just made up of people like you?
But what exactly is my kind?
Except for the difference in the color of our skins
Are we not all human beings?
Do we not bleed the same color?
Do we not have moments that make us very happy and others that make us sad?
Do we not sometimes face life struggles, trying to meet them head on?
Just because my skin is of a deeper hue
Doesn’t mean you’re better than me or me than you
So, you don’t like some people who are different
Other people don’t like you because you are…you
Think about the ‘face’ you present
It doesn’t matter you may say, you’re too old to change
and you’ve always been that way
So what? you may say
Does it really matter?
If I’m a sister and you’re another….aren’t we all brothers and sisters
Of God? Of the Universe?
Take a page out of someone else’s book before you leap
To conclusions
Just because others may think differently,
do not share the same enlightenment
Before you take a step back into time
Of what once was
We were all put on this earth for a purpose
Do we move forward
Or take two steps backwards?
How can we move forward if you keep regurgitating the same sound bite?
If your attitude is worse than those you fear or hate or tolerate, or so you say
Why not make a difference, be different
Say what you mean and mean what you say
Allow the idiosyncrasies of the few
How else can you learn who you are?
If our world is without color
If the grass was not green
Or the sky not blue
How else can you be you, or me be me?
