Colorless

I wish that the world was void of color
so I would not be judged by my skin
so that others will not pull me down
nor lift me up because a simple color.
White, they call me white.
But in reality I'm more Tan,
And does it really matter?
If the whole world was color blind
Could you imagine the out come?
If we saw man and woman as human, always?
If country and race and creed
mattered less than peace and love?
Make me color blind, make me free
And in this colorless world of greys
I would be one just like you, or you.
We would be sisters, brothers, family
human,
But yet, if we could do all that
And not loose the color of the world
Colorless would not be the cure, only a fix.
A badly placed band aid
Over a wound that can't heal
And a world void of color of culture
would be void of so much more.
So forget the colorless, make me vibrate
And celebrate with me our differences
Forget my sister, my brother our anger
learn Love, learn healing, learn peace.
Only prejudice is colorless.
