Black Or White Poem by Preetam Shetty

Great piece of work. Keep it up. Thank you. E.K.L.

Good and conscious writing. Conscious in the social context I indicate. Yes we live with a dream that one day 'all states will be weathered away' and divisions of race, colour, religion, economic status will blow away like the dry yellow leaves in wild-storm. Write more and bleed much... 10+ Apoet Bangla

What fundamental realism rings through your words. Good rhyming, yes and nice flow, yes but there is so much more to the lesson written here. Something that seems so second nature to some (to discriminate) completely baffles the rest of us who never even see the cover of a book let alone judge one by it. thank you for writing it.

If you are a gem to your mother I am a loved one too, my brother I deserve no hate or despect I am a human, please respect very very true. i am an indian living in europe. you know i can understand what u say very very well. that is life around the globe. we have to go on even when others hate us. be yourself. God loves us as we are. thank u for this real poem which portrays reality as it is

I like the fifth stanza: To me and you a time will come A day in the divine kingdom A judgement without respite For he sees no Black or White 'We are no one to judge because whatever our skin looks like we all have our faults. Some do A others do Z. We're humans, we can't be perfect. And I deserve your respect like everyone else for I am a living soul like you.' If someone offends you that's what you should tell them. About the poem: I like how it rhymes and the flow is good. Rich with emotions, sadness and the longing of respect. Have a nice day. B.B.

Beautiful....... One of your best writing...... I loved the topic n way of writing.. Keep it up....... All best wishes.......

Dear Preetam, Completely agree. Color of skin does not matter at all. I have a lot of wondreful friends with a very dark skin. We are all children of one and the same God. When Einstein said: 'There are only two things infinite: 1. the universe and 2. the stupidity of humans, Just I am not sure about the universe.' I am sure he was thinking about these people who feel superior just because of their (usually white) colour. Discrimination is one of the biggest disgraces for humanity.

We maybe different race and appearance but we are all the same... I don't care u are dark or black my friend, Preetam because u are bright inner/inside...It is better than having white skin but dark inside....Our appearance is just a mask what the real thing is what we have inside...I respect u, u are right...Keep writing something good and real like this...

well claimed your unversal space, well written

It simply great! [If you are a gem to your mother I am a loved one too, my brother I deserve no hate or despect I am a human, please respect]
