The creator blew his own breath on this earth
amazingly raised the human race, as his
own face, no colour or creed sparked to split their grace
until men made his own base.

Black brown red and white, clashed
’nd splashed to drench red, over the lap of thy mother
with thy own brother’s warm blood, to Claim glitzy
booty, by soaking their hands with bubbling red.

O’ martyrs of this dear land, is this the vision for thou
laid down thy darling sprit, to witness brothers
emit blood and fire of hate to drown and burn
thy celestial land into a swamp of ashes, good for none?

Black brown red and white, none other then, but a
ploy play of light, why fight; live to love it’s our sovereign-right.

WHY FIGHT?

I am smiling, all day long I kept saying, if only we learn one thing while we camp out here on earth, it would be that of love. Everything else will be taken care of if we can only learn to love all. To model after the one who gave us a free license of life. To stop the nonsense, to forgive ourselves and to say, I love you all, and put away those feelings of hatred that take us all down, especially ourselves. The fighting is not worth the effort. If each one of us only had 10 seconds more to live, I think fighting each other would not be a priority, I believe we would be thinking of our Dear Lord, that He takes us in to His home. Each day, take a few moments and give thanks to our creator for letting us roam His earth, and to rejoice that he made many friends and family for us to love. Lets all begin to love one another today. rL

This is the lesson that perhaps in time we will get..we are all one...if you judge or hate another be it yourself that you destroy not another....for the judgement that you face you deserve if you have chosen...to judge in colour or in religion. thank you
"The creator blew his own breath on this earth" So be it!
