Here’s an interesting fact about the color of our skin:
the section that holds the color is unusually thin.
I imagine to our creator…it was a snap…a finger flick
making the section with our pigment only a millimeter thick.
I’m sure she had her reasons…perhaps it wasn’t even functional
Perhaps she just wanted to make our world a little more beautiful.
Perhaps even though he was the creator he was inquisitive
perhaps he wanted to see how people of different colors live.
Perhaps after creating in us similar brains, and eyes and hearts
he wanted to give us a simple way of telling each other apart.
Perhaps she wanted us to look both outside as well as in
and see there is so much more to who we are than the color of our skin.
Perhaps her belief in her creations was both resolute and strong…
and she never guessed there would be reasons we would not get along…
My guess is he didn’t think it important…the color of our skin
which is why when creating all our pieces she made our color part so thin.
Perhaps our creator hoped…from the moment our life begins
We would use our brain, our eyes and our heart…to see past the color of our skin.
After all, if our creator made color such a small part of you…
and such a small part of me
If she didn’t think it that important…
I wonder…
why do we?
