~~ Difference ~~
~*~
Twisted from vines within,
bitterness is hidden.
Prejudice and hatred unnecessary;
unfounded notions inept
passed down through generations
of senseless hypocrisy.
~
Let there never be another Mussolini,
Hitler, Stalin or Bedford Forrest!
Let us seek to find rather
the Mother Teresa, MichaelAngelo
and Martin Luther Kings
who may yet be found
in upcoming generations.
~
Are we not the same
regardless of
the colors we are clothed in?
~
If we are to be delivered
from atrocities of times gone by
we must replace the blinders
that hide us from brighter truth.
~
From within us all
I believe it possible to find
through persistence and temperance,
knowledge, love,
the ability to accept eachother.
Elsewise where would we be!
~
For who among us
could totally divide
one from the other?
We are all of us here
with a purpose for life,
yet unknown.
~
Though our future, for now
seems unclear.
One thing is for certain,
black, white, red or tan;
In His sight,
There
Is
No difference.
