Color Blind (Earthtones) Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

There is a world I search for
A planet, I try to find
I'm searching for a world
One that's color blind

Where race, it has no meaning
Where skin, it does not show
One, where people learn acceptance
Is one I'd love to know.

Where I can see your spirit
When I peer into your eyes, your face.
Without the focus monotonously directed,
on which shade, we title the race.

Where beauty defines itself
In an array of many shades
Where the masses join together
And the colors start to fade.

Where the shades, they lose their value
More importance, then, is placed,
on qualities more relevant,
something more than the apparent race!  

No more hate! —I'm begging
Let no more cruelty reign!  
Stop the faces soaring in an ocean
filled with a provoked, false shame!  

Perhaps, one day race will have no bearing;
this day, I hope for, I pray
A day, we finally stop declaring
The importance is of the colors we display

Where is this place I hunt?  
I search, I hunt, I plead.
Where is this place I long for?  
I cry and fall; I bleed!

Because it's the spirit inside which matters
The soul; beaming and bright
For this to shine right through
I believe that we must fight.

Until the very end—
We must fight with our last breaths.
To stop the hate from spreading.
We must fight until nothing's left!
