COLORS


{ All Souls Are Colorless }


Paul L. Glaze {C}1995



I Am Pleased I Was Born
A Pure And Lily White.
I Wouldn't Like To Have
Worn The Color Of The Night.

Was There Something I Did
To Select This Sacred Shade.
Perhaps I Ran And Hid
From The Ethic Birth Parade.

I Do Not Know If White
Was My Personal Selection.
But Wherever Iąd Go,
It Receives A Fond Affection.

Whites Have Thus Ordained
Ourselves To Be Superior.
Therefore All Others
Must Be Inferior..

The Color Of Ones Skin
Is How We Pick And Choose.
By Its Lightness WeWin,
By Its Darkness We Lose.

It Is Very Nice When
White Is Our Precious Skin.
Then We Pay The Price When
It Turns Dark Once Again.

We Would Surely Discover
If We Only Take The Time
The Color We Would Uncover
Is Only A State Of Mind!

Be Careful With Your Colors
Don't Wear Them With Vanity.
For These Same Colors May
Be Used To Test Our Sanity.

It Is Important We Be Fair
To Colors We Chance To Meet.
Those Colors We May Wear,
Our Next Trip On Life's Street

There Is A Certain Feeling
If You Dislike A Color Tract
It Will Have A Close Revealing
When Your Spirit Travels Back.

Many Colors Fate Has Arranged
As We Live Thru Many Stages.
These Colors Are Changed
As We Live Through Out
The Ages !
