Have you ever wondered What it’s like to be colorblind? I know random But, lately, such questions have seemed to come to mind. What would it be like To see the world from such a different point of view - One that deprives the sufferer From witnessing nature’s every beautiful hue? The scintillating spectrum of a rainbow - The radiant color scale of a garden in spring - The pyrotechnic show of a city skyline at night Would never be as breathtaking. So why is this such a popular buzzword For those who desire to replace Attention to God’s beautiful spectrum of humanity With a colorblind view of race? To not accept the most loving, but demanding, endeavor Of authentically including and affirming the color of humanity Many people hide behind this word In self-righteous vanity. “I just don’t see race. I love all people. Isn’t that what anyone would prefer?” I’m sorry. I don’t mean to disappoint you, But I must say that I do differ Because if you have to be “blind” to anything about anyone to “love” them I would question the authenticity of your “love”. What’s wrong with loving a person completely? Just want are you afraid of? Of course, it’s not easy To love anyone unconditionally In the same way that it is difficult to hang from a cross In unfathomable agony. Loving people in every way Is something we, the Church, should be willing to discuss As opposed to using politically-correct language Just to sweep issues under the rug. I do prefer for our colors to shine Like a prism kissed by the Son - The Son of God; a co-creator Of each and everyone. You see, when I walk into the room I want you to see a Nubian king With melanin like blazing bronze; With African shea butter glistening And when you walk into the room You should want appreciation just the same. To believe that you’re worth anything less Is nothing but a lie-infested shame. What you shouldn’t want is to be devalued because of your color, Which is a distinct difference, But to ignore the devaluing of persons Many people embrace colorblindness. Maybe you have been devalued Because of the color of your skin or personhood. Maybe you weren’t acknowledged for every beautiful aspect of who you are Like every human being should. Let me take the time to unapologetically affirm Every shade that ever stand before me - Every pigment of God’s prism - Every thread of God’s tapestry. Let your color GLOW! Like the wings of a butterfly That flap gracefully in the wind like they were created to do As they kiss the vast open sky. You see, words can’t describe your immense beauty So it definitely shouldn’t be ignored. I praise God for humanity’s tapestry So let’s not desire to be “colorblind” anymore!
