Poetry: Defining God

by Bri Mark

Created on: November 14, 2008

'' Does Anyone Know The Color Of God ''

God made us different so we could give,

different perceptions on how we should live,

if he knew it would've caused so much trouble,

he'd have left our planet as a pile of rubble.

He gave us all colors as a lasting gift,

I doubt that he dreamed it would cause such a rift,

but don't blame God for the color assault,

he gave us all minds, it's our own fault.

We really need to focus attention,

as our world enters a new dimension,

that togetherness is what sets the pace,

not the color of a persons face.

If the human race would just unite,

then maybe we'd all see the light,

that to battle through our stormy weather,

the only way forward is to work together.

Take Lewis Hamilton from formula one,

a world champion second to none,

his Father was black, his mother white,

that never stopped him getting it right.

If everything we seen was drab and grey,

would our world look as nice that way,

the flowers and animals on our beautiful planet,

the eagles and ospreys, the sea loving gannet.

Just look at the rainbow way up high,

those united colors grace a wonderful sky,

the insects the trees all differing shades,

from the Sahara desert to the Everglades.

Regardless of color you're a human being,

none have the right to think they're all seeing,

that their race is strong whilst the other is weak,

the facts of life prove we are all unique.

If we'd only use our God given skill,

we could unite as one if we have the will,

it's part of our heritage the color of our skin,

be proud but united and our battle we'll win.

In essence all humans are much the same,

as we try to survive in life's great game,

if we could set our differences aside,

the racists and bigots would have nowhere to hide.

Black and White would be no more,

we'd all be welcome at each others door,

the human race must realise,

if we don't work as one our planet dies.

Another example is the man called Barack,

his mother was white his father black,

this proves beyond doubt what we can achieve,

if we get rid of prejudice and start to believe.

Obama's now president of the United States,

soon he will walk through the White House gates,

the peoples selection has shown us all,

that regardless of colour we can all stand tall.

If only the world would follow Gods lead,

the preachers of hate would be forced to concede,

your color is beautiful it should not be confined,

it will take every color to save humankind.

You may be black, brown or red even yellow or white,

regardless of color we we all know wrong from right.

if we stopped preaching hatred against one another,

we could actually live as sister and brother.

When you pray to your saviour do you honestly care,

what shade he might be as long as he's there,

this concept of color by humans is flawed,
