Is the Black man’s blood black, <br />Or the Black Crow’s blood black? <br />Is the White Man’s blood white, <br />Or the White Dove’s blood white? <br /> <br />Why it’s red, any one immaterial? <br />‘Cause God wants to be impartial <br />To treat all the creatures equal, <br />What a display of His creative marvel! <br /> <br />Red, blue, white or yellow <br />Violet, green, orange or indigo <br />How all flowers look so bright <br />When seen in one bunch tight? <br /> <br />The nature’s plural color scheme, <br />Doesn’t it free the eyes from boredom? <br />What an immeasurable thing of joy <br />It gives as a gift of the Almighty? <br /> <br />The color by morn, a flower drops <br />When by nightfall, out it withers. <br />The beauty of a Black or White <br />Fades away by age overnight. <br /> <br />Mind not the color of the skin <br />But the blood that’s in common. <br />Respect every God’s creation <br />That’ll lead the world to salvation.<br /><br />Rajaram Ramachandran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/black-or-white-the-blood-is-red/
