Colorblind

The world as I see it.

I am colorblind

I do not see black or white

Nor a single shade in-between

I do not care if you are an Ice Princess, a Nubian Queen

A Mayan Prince or something yet to be seen

It should never be about race or color

All that should matter is the potential for love

we have for one another

If “God” is the father, that makes the “Earth” our mother

And everyone one of us are “Sisters” and “Brothers”

So stop the hate, put differences aside

Because if we do not

We continue to give those in power,

The power to divide.

About the Creator

Edward Val

I'm a poet by nature and a Soldier by trade and my writing reflects my experiences not only in life but also in war. I use writing as way to express myself and deal with the horrors I've seen and hope my words can help my fellow Veterans.
