The Color Of Our Skin Poem by Mimie Durand
The Color Of Our Skin
Why can’t we all get along
We are all alike,
Except for the color of our skin
Why must we fight?
Our feelings are challenged
Challenged by words and actions,
Our lives filled with hatred
Filled with aggressive reactions.
We all live in difficult times
Times of greed and lust,
Our children need a haven
Many lack love and trust.
Come on everyone
We inhabit the same world,
Living in close proximity
Rules of kindness, we must uphold.
People live longer today
Than they ever have before,
Our world feels like it’s getting smaller
Much smaller than times of yore.
Yellow, Black, White and Brown
Many colors are found,
Let’s strive to live in harmony
What goes around, comes around.

Mimie, really enjoying your poem calling for the acceptance of diversity...and coming together as one....and yes all colors are the same...as they return to dust....
