Love in Living Colour

A story of my rainbow

By Andrea StrachanPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

My black and white is not your story

Your lack of sight does not mean glory

The shades of grey cannot be changed

Our colour pallet must be rearranged

I cannot see the way you see

Your choices are not good for me

I want to blend the spectrum shades

To be a glorious world we’ve made

We must share our love with all the races

Our hearts will be filled with warm embraces

We don’t abide by bigotry

We hope to change our history

Please gather all to clean the slate

Of prejudice, bias and hate

We need to see our world as one

All shades that blend under the sun

Don’t let your hearts be cold as stone

Open them wide, let your love be known

For every man, woman, child and land

My faith in you makes my rainbow band.
