Relaxed. Casual. Colorful. Color Blind. Transparent. Friends. Clear. Dallas 2011, color no longer applies. Friends together relaxing and waiting to run. This is how it should be for everyone.

A Color Blind Heart

12

A color blind heart is the best of all hearts, For a color blind heart cannot see outer appearances, For the heart can only feel the others devotions, A color blind heart is only found in a the eyes of a child, If only Dallas’s citizens was that divine thoughtful child, Who could never judge on an outer appearance, Yet could only love the heart of its comrade, To reach forth and capture the color blind heart, Before the venom of persecution, Penetrates its loving victim, If only we could let go of our eyes, To start glancing with our heart, There is no need for our eyes to see in such black and white, Why not differentiate with a hasten of color, Why even ponder over such stinginess, When through so much we know, To judge is not our place, To love each other despite others appearances, Well that is the gift of a child’s color blind heart, For us to model, Our place is to love, To have that love reach around Dallas taking everyone in its path, Yet sadly, the curse of racism spits in our mouths, Leaving a tattoo of hate in our hearts, It only takes one to love, One to change, One to help all the other ones, Slowly erase the racism tattoo implanted in Dallas’s heart, Together we can slowly build the world a color blind heart.
