shade

[kemzo]

I have my shade, so do you
I love my shade, so do you
I’m light skinned, you’re dark
Some say I’m ‘orange’ and you’re ‘charcoal’
Some say…
Some say…
But what do you say?
I say: send me not to hell for only God has the right;
Only he has really seen and heard me
If God loves us all and He made men in his image,
Why do you rank me?
Why do you press until my shade is ‘hypermediated’?
Why don’t you sit with me between the whispering
Grass fields under the bleeding drunk sky?

Saying is art and art is saying
Touch my shade and I’ll touch yours
Erase ‘black’ and I’ll erase ‘white’
Love my shade and I’ll love yours
Share your shade and I’ll share mines and we will
Both see that at opposite ends we are humans.

I like your poem, although I wonder at your choice of some words. Not to be critical, but why the color orange, and hypermediated seems out of place Do you write and rewrite your poems? Sometimes I come back to some of my older ones. Sometimes I simplify, sometimes I elaborate, and sometimes I take them further. I find several concepts which make me think. Keep it up. Oh, whatever you do, don't throw your poems away, I've literally lost volumes in fits of frustration.
