Can't we all just get along,
were the words that Rodney spoke.
They flashed those words across the screen,
and then we all made jokes.
But shouldn't this be a lesson,
on how we treat each other.
And ask ourselves why we hate,
just because of color.
The world is filled with variety,
in every shape and size.
And in it are amazing colors,
pleasing to the eyes.
There seems to be some wisdom here,
meant for me and you.
That Green has no more authority,
than does the color Blue.
We labor hard to display our yard,
with the perfect array of color.
But we seem to forget, the point of it,
when considering one another.
We all have one thing common,
and will until we're dead.
Inside the veins of each of us,
is found the color Red.
