Sea of red

One color

By ShawnecePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

We divide one another by the color of our skin, gender, race, and religion.

Has anyone stopped to look closer to the color that runs deep through our veins.

The only color we all have that can never be changed.

The color we see when we scrap an arm or a knee.

The color we see when others or ourselves cut us deep.

The color red runs deep from shore to shining sea.

The color red is the one color we all share.

That’s let’s us know we are really no different then the person next us.

So why do we hate, judge, and discriminate when we all have the same red blood running through our veins.

If we were all to perish today there would only be a sea of red left in our wake.
