[hometext] => A controversial subject...I'm sure you can guess from the title. While some of us do it accidentally and unintentionally I just want to make it known that everybody does it in some way or another...Please do not feel offended.
[bodytext] => Will you look at me the same?
Once these words have been said.. Will you feel about me the same? Once my feelings have been read.. Within the grandest of the spectrums The colors jump into your mind And still you can tell the difference Even if your soul is blind I seek not your sympathy Although you might feel like I need it I seek not a fulfillment Although you think I should lead it I'm merely stating a simple fact Written in the unspoken rules I know this to be so true Even within the denying fools Have you never looked at appearances And shunned away your could-be friends? And never decided a soul by beauty Only shown on skin til end? Deny the truths and deny this "lie" But don't deny what is wrong or right You may deny what you've done But bring the secret deeds into the light I myself have committed the crimes Unknowingly and sometimes with reason Future generations will perform it too And may be prosecuted with treason So I'm startin to ramble And you may ask what is the crime? So I'll reply with this simple answer Look at the fifth line of this rhyme.. "colors" is the word I see And what does this bring to you? Racial discrimination and profiling In the purest of senses, you know it's true So I'll end my question For you need to decide Is this something you'll change Or a sin that you'll hide...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
