Color Of The World Poem by Stephen Morris

Fueled by the monster, headed to the street, out on the prowl,
Feeling bitter sweet,
Should be home with my family, not leaving them alone,
Yet I'm out here in the streets like i'm Al Copone,
Judged by society cause I wasn't born rich,
No silver spoon for me, Life is just a bitch,

Judging my kids, because yes they're a little mixed,
This is the attitude that just makes me sick!

I married a little brown girl, yes that might be true,
But who the hell I marry has nothing to do with you;
When I'm holding my girl late in the night,
lights dimmed down, and my world is right,
I don't feel her love by the color of her skin,
I only feel the love coming from within;

If a blind man can love when he cannot even see,
what does that say about our society;
Prejudgement based on the context of tone,
If I was E.T., I'd definitely phone home!
Get me off this plantet, let me find another rock!
But we're all in this together, like it or not!

It used to be white, red, yellow, brown and black,
But now we have to add vanilla swirl to the stack!
Even Barrack Obama cannot get it right,
Some say he's to black, some say he's too damn white!
But what the hell I ask you, is the man supposed to do,
Thats the way he was born, just like me and you!

A child cannot choose to be born in this world,
Hell, they cant even choose to be a boy or a girl;
They come to this place, they can't even talk,
But yet they get prejudged before they can even walk!

Like the song says, they have no state of mind,
Innocently blind to the ways of mankind!

But don't think you're fooling, Because God knows you,
And he knows exactly what it is that you do!
Smile at my child, and then talk behind her back,
If I was a vicious man, you'd be under attack!
But thats ok, because when your life is through,
It won't be me, but God dealing with you!

I think Martin Luther King would hold his head high,
But then really look around, and break down and cry!
Because this is not about just white and black,
Its about our whole world, because we are under attack!

Whats sad but true, and it scrambles my brain,
Is that we justify 'Killing', for 'Peace' in Gods name!
Did I say that right? Can I say it again?
Hell just repeating it feels like a sin!
Killing for peace in Gods name,
Doesn't this sentence sound a little strange?

Some people say this will never change,
But people told Martin the very same thing!
They told Mrs. Rosa 'to the back of the bus! ! '
But she didn't move a muscle, she didn't even cuss!

The brave man in China, who turned and faced that tank,
He stood his ground that day, and he didn't even shake;
Run me over if you dare, But that won't make us leave this
Square!

We are a strong people, and we're gonna stay together,
You might kill the person, But the spirt lives forever!

For all the people in this world, who truly love each other,
Based not on where someone is from, not on someones color,
Not on the fact that they may be rich, and yes some may be poor,
But simply because the ''person' within, is the one that
You adore,

Bless You! !
