Since When Color Really, Really Matters

Be real and serious! Be fair to yourself and to others Since when color really, really freaking matters All men and women are created the same and equal Ill-conceived men and women are into created an evil Society of hierarchy and are into dividing us for the worst Not for the best. Everybody deserves the very best And equal chances or fair opportunities. Men and women Are essentially the same, there is one tiny comma or dash That separates male and female. There is no need to clash Over nonsense or stupidity. We're born; we breathe, drink and eat And rhyme with it. We're essentially the same. No different a bit We're all blessed and lucky to be alive, to help and to love Our fellow brothers and sisters. We're always searching above And beyond for something, while we're neglecting the masterpiece In front of us. Let's strive for better understanding, love and peace We have too much to lose. Let's eradicate racism, ignorance and bigotry Let's make the world safer and a better place for all humanity Regardless of the skin color. We're born under the same stars and sky And under the same mystery, we will eventually weep, cry and die Since when color really, really freaking matters Be just and serious! Be fair to yourself and to others. Copyright © May 2019, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved. Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poems.
