COLOUR OF THE HEART

Helplessly lying on the sick bed,

Wealthy is he, but could not buy comfort,

His heart was bad, he needed a transplant,

Between life and death, no time for pride.

He use to be a racist that despised others,

A well known supremest that regards no other,

A doctor of letters that reviled other races disdainfully in his articles,

None could have imagine such fellow to be humbled as such,

The surgeon handling his case is from the race he has once reviled,

His only willing donor also came from the other race,

Does the racial colour really matters with life,

After all, the colour of the heart does not count.

So locky he was, the transplant was successful,

He could walk again and roll around,

The pride he took in his race becomes dumb,

As he carries the heart of other race.

Life is full of lessons for all to learn,

Our colours may differ but we are all human,

With the same hearts with no different colours,

No red, no white and no black heart I guess,

Why then do we discriminate against skin colours?

Why do we see other races as lesser beings,

Pride and fear of the unknown must be the root cause,

A world divided along the path of prejudice and nepotism,

I wander the essence of the united nations,

With all the so called efforts to bind the together as one,

We have become more divided than we were,

No peace exist with an uneven division,

We have long forgotten that our hearts have same colour,

Neither does our blood’s pigment varies with our skin colours.

We need one another to make significant progress,

Success has never being a function of skin colours,

It is the function of mental capacity at the balcony of transcultural alignment.

Our different skin colours should reminds us

Of the creativity of nature and not the supremacy one above the other.

If we realize that Putin can be a donor to Biden and Charles can be a donor to Jinping,

Then our racial innate becomes dumb on our global shores.

We are created in different colours to complement one another,

Until we look at our selves with the inner eyes of the heart,

We may to be able to give tolerance a chance to unify us.

As I preach the gospel of love, peace and harmony,

We must come to terms with the fact that

We bear same heart with same colour

Irrespective of our skin colours, race, tribe or language.

Show some love, heart has no different colours.
