Poems
Jan 2016
melanin rags
once worn with pride
eat the wearer
up inside
they have wrinkles
lines of care
but a person isn't
what they wear
wether pink
or brownish lace
wether russet...
freckled face
wether taupe or
still ecru
wether me
or wether you
we all wear colors
on our bones
it matters not
their depth of tone!
let's take the rags
and by God's grace
make a
quilt
of
Jesus' FACE!
instead of hate
and wishing harm
this manifold quilt
will keep us
warm!
wether you're
old aged or a youth
you're part of the quilt
and that's the TRUTH.

I'm feeling better now, due to
YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD WISHES.
THANK YOU!
If you can, Google D.C. Talk's song
"Colored People" on YouTube.
It's well worth a listen!
