The Best Poem Of Missie Milligan

Black In The Eyes Of The White

Black is considered the opposite of white......
White is considered the compliment of black

Black is “bad”… while white is “good”......
White is “right” and black is “wrong”

See a black cloud…. A storm is looming......
Images in heaven include white fluffy clouds

Colors of the rainbow do not include black......
Mix all colors of light and the result is white

Artists use black when creating gloomy images......
Artists use white when creating pleasing images

Black, the color of night…perceived the evil shade......
White, the color of daytime…exposes the truth

Evil always lurks in the black shadows......
Wicked spirits are scared away by white light

Bible metaphors…“blackest darkness” as hell (Jude 1: 13) ......
Go into the light…this light of eternity is white

Christians use black to portray the color of sin......
Forgiveness washes your sins as “white as snow”

The bad sheep are always the “black sheep”......
The white sheep are counted to fall asleep

Black is used to terrify you in horror movies......
White is the color of the “good” knight’s horse

Black Magic…knowledge of evil rituals and spells......
White Magic…knowledge of various love spells

Halloween…witches in black, vampires, black cats......
White Christmas… angels in white top the trees

Being “b lack balled”…you are cut off from a lot.....
Our nation’s capital is named “The White House”

No one wants a “black mark” on their record.....
Everyone wants a clean, white slate to start from

What do you wear to a funeral? …Black......
What does a virgin wear to get married? …White

Death is represented by the black grim reaper......
The Holy Spirit is represented by a white dove


Many say they aren’t prejudice…
Most say they don’t discriminate…
Nearly all are unaware of their bias.

But the inequity is everywhere;
it’s in our cultures and even our speech.
Society can only change this injustice
if our human nature is suppressed.
But reprogramming human behavior…
you’d think that would take an act of God!
