What's Color Got To Do With It
A Two Line Poem18 total reviews
Comment from June Sargent
In a few words you have nailed the problem with our society today. To divide the human race based simply on the color of the skin that covers his heart - a heart that bleeds red just like us - is insane. Hopefully we all wake up from this nightmare before we become extinct like the dinosaurs...

Totally love the picture as you remind us of what once was. After all, we were all the same color once until we thought we could touch God. Now we cant touch each other. Nicely played

This is an excellent topical poem, just the sort of pertinent barbs that we need to make us all stop and think. When I reflect on life at the moment, I feel that we have taken a radical (word choice intentional) step backwards, for the worse. I appreciate work of this caliber to set us on track again.

Ok I see I was reading too literally. Yes it makes sense now.. Duh. Please don't say I don't care, did you see how long my review was. It only needs to be a certain length. I'm new at poetry not a lazy bigot. Happy writing! It's all good.

You must be tired as you have read this all wrong, please read again when you wake up*****kahpot

Well I am waking up now. It's just to me divide means separate. But to me we need to all see each other equally. Or do you mean separate from prejudice?
-
Divide our sight, yes I do mean separate-from black and white so we can all be one, my apologies for any misunderstanding, your review read as though you were asleep and did not really care what you read

A fine response to the challenge. Your short poem packs a punch. It brings to mind the oriental concept of yin and yang, where black and white are curled around each other, mutually dependant.

Just love your short poem and the clever use of different colors. In the end what matters is that we are humans and should behave like that...
black, white, divide our sights
