Black Or White, The Blood Is Red

 

Is the Black man’s blood black,

Or the Black Crow’s blood black?

Is the White Man’s blood white,

Or the White Dove’s blood white?

 

Why it’s red, any one immaterial?

‘Cause God wants to be impartial

To treat all the creatures equal,

What a display of His creative marvel!

 

Red, blue, white or yellow

Violet, green, orange or indigo

How all flowers look so bright

When seen in one bunch tight?

 

The nature’s plural color scheme,

Doesn’t it free the eyes from boredom?

What an immeasurable thing of joy

It gives as a gift of the Almighty?

 

The color by morn, a flower drops

When by nightfall, out it withers.

The beauty of a Black or White

Fades away by age overnight.

 

Mind not the color of the skin

But the blood that’s in common.

Respect every God’s creation

That’ll lead the world to salvation.
