People of Color
People of Color
“People of color”- indeed! How absolutely ridiculous! 'I am “people of color”'!!! My eyes are blue like a summer sky, azure like the sea. They are green and gray and brown and hazel! My hair runs a palette from straw yellow to the golds in sunshine. Soft browns to fire reds to a crimson so deep it's black. And my skin? From the softest pink and tallow yellow to the boldest of bronze and brown that deepens in summer and glows like the sunlight itself. I stand boldly in front of my creator! Listening to his voice. Not whimpering like a naked fool in winters chill, begging for the crumbs of redemption. I hear His words. The words that expose His creation in all its splendor. And thru the ages my efforts have always been in understanding those words. To enlighten and lift all peoples. People of color! How absurd...
