COLORBLIND
I wish the world were colorblind
Then we wouldn’t have wars
Over crude remarks
And if the world were colorblind
We wouldn’t be afraid
To walk past Crips after dark
If the world were colorblind
The qualified man
Would get the job
And if the world were colorblind
She wouldn’t have the nerve
To be such a snob
If the world were colorblind
Then we might all have
Unified views
And if the world were colorblind
Then we might realize
It is God who rules!
Then we wouldn’t have wars
Over crude remarks
And if the world were colorblind
We wouldn’t be afraid
To walk past Crips after dark
If the world were colorblind
The qualified man
Would get the job
And if the world were colorblind
She wouldn’t have the nerve
To be such a snob
If the world were colorblind
Then we might all have
Unified views
And if the world were colorblind
Then we might realize
It is God who rules!

Love the message your ink conveys, Brigette!
I was excited to read it because I wrote a similar poem with a similar message and 'exact' same title! :))) Too funny!
You should ck it out if you get bored....it's on page 3 in my poems.
Truly a beautiful place to live, If we all were colorblind!:) Nicely written! xxoxo

If only it was. Do you think if we all wished hard enough, it could be so? Enjoyed your words. Peace always.
