Black, White, Yellow, Green
What colour is your thought?
If it doesn’t matter
Now or later
And It is the quality
Which makes it good
Or prove it better
Than why see only skin deep
judge people,
fudge facts
smudge acts
Don’t discriminate
Do not discriminate
It incriminates,
makes you a criminal
An animal
and I thought
we were that
few thousand years ago
Let go, your ego
Proud about your skin
burn it in a racism bin
hearts you need to win
And they are all red
Connected by the same
helix thread
Beating drums
affection led
Warm heart will
souls gather
A rainbow made
of peacock feather
Empathy, honour,
kindness bought
That is my favourite
colour of thought
Lovely.

I hate to sound like a hum-bug, but until the Media quits fanning the flames, racism will never die—in America at least. The Politicians here use it as a tool to keep the Nation divided. The riots going on in Ferguson, Mo. are a blaring example, and not really that unusual. It all depends on ‘the circumstances’ as to how severe the reporting is.

Your poem was pretty spot on, AB—it got me worked up (previous comment)—sorry. LOL. 😉

That is perfectly fine, I enjoy getting strong heart felt opinions, shows me people react to my humble words which is the ultimate gratification a poor poet like myself can ever receive and dare I say enjoy. Thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend.

I agree, but to me media and politicians fuel it because the inherent feeling is already in the community or they play with normal human prejudices. It keep viewing numbers up and they get their votes. Shameful human behaviour but then who said money and power doesn’t corrupt!!

This is for all of us who face discrimination at any end. Here is something for you Ramallah girl
I have no way of imagining
what you live through,
only have hope,
affection and pray
that I live the day
you have your freedom
when I am still alive.
no matter how weak
how old, I am
I will come,
I will dance
on the street
of Ramallah
on the beat of دف duf
in the arid road rough
scare Ravens,
drink all taverns
and smiles so much
tears form a pool
you all rule
what is rightly, morally
humanly yours
and I want to see
with glee, the real spring
how it born out
of blood of martyrs
mere kids, starters
just few stones,
in those innocence palms
before Friday psalms
made the impossible
possible

my friend from the occupied lands, may your tears bring a prayer which is listened to highest court of justice and May that justice be served for your people. I love humanity and yours is best (how you mutually survive in a million plus jail) and worst (how oppressor treats oppressed while they know the pains of the same from some 80 years ago) example of human treating other humans. I pray for our redemption, their salvation when they finally open their eyes and your freedom.

QUÉ COLOR ES SU PENSAMIENTO
Negro, blanco, amarillo, verde
¿De qué color es tu pensamiento?
Si no importa
Ahora o más tarde
Y Es la calidad
Lo que lo hace bueno
O demostrarlo mejor
Que por qué sólo veo de color de piel
juzgar a las personas,
por su hechos
actos de la mancha
No discriminar
No discriminar
Se incrimina,
te hace un criminal
un animal
y pensé
nos encontramos que
Hace unos cuantos miles de años
deja ir, su ego
Orgulloso de su piel
quemarla en un contenedor de racismo
corazones que necesitan ganar
Y son todos de color rojo
Conectados por la misma
hilo hélice
tocando tambores
afecto dirigido
Voluntad corazón caliente
almas se reúnen
Un arco iris hecho
de plumas de pavo real
La empatía, el honor,
amabilidad compró
Esa es mi favorito
color del pensamiento.
