Treat Not by Racial Undertone

Through Individual Character.

LET HIS CHARACTER BE THE JUDGE:

From oriental to occidental

from Arctic to Antarctica,

from sunrise to sunset,

same man, same woman, and

one world.

You may be White or Brown,

skin color may be Black,

are you multi-racial?

All belong to one world of

same man and same woman.

As a member of same

household,

treat everyone fairly and

let equality be your watch

word;

individual-please-show honor,

everyone-give a listening ear,

sympathize-more so-empathize.

Judge not by color,

stereotype not by pass-on tales,

chastise when a wrong is

committed,

condemn not by race or lineage.

Correct when one derails,

judge not the race or ethnic

group,

individual character

you may scrutinize,

behavior you may

condemn;

but do not criminalize

a group,

social entity may you not

disparage for one man failure.

Hold everyone accountable

to his deeds,

father’s sins never

ask son,

mother’s infractions,

visit them not upon

daughter.

DEPRIVE NO ONE BY COLOR:

Is the man due for a favor?

Never hold it back,

is the woman qualify for a

privilege?

Give it to her.

Treat no one as figure,

treat no one  as outcast or

gypsy,

never pre-judge

rather accord individual

with rights due.

Did you see any good

in him?

Commend it,

are you surprised of

his accomplishment

because of color?

Color and place of birth

are accidents of nature,

neither has no impact on

intellectual performance.

Does he need a lift up?

elevate where possible and

when necessary;

does she need a support to rise?

Give her a ladder to climb

social, political and

economic walls.

Moral scaffold-deny no one,

nurse and nudge everyone

that walk pass courtyard,

even when faltering,

with love-pull him out of hole-

with kindness rescue her

out of the woods.

By means of friendship and

spirit of the law,

instead of every time

letter of law,

remove the noose around

his neck.

Show kindness beyond

religious enclave,

let your love transcend

racial, cultural, and political

confines;

let your help go beyond

color line and assistance

beyond geographical

confinement.

Lessons from Nature-

ALL MEN NATURE TREATS EQUALLY:

At conception every human

lives in a three-different-shaped

uterus: grape, pawpaw, and

watermelon,

but in life homes of

different sizes

individuals may live;

when returning,

every human gets

a six feet eternal abode.

Just as each day goes in

three-equal-cycle of-

morning, afternoon, and

night,

every human undergoes-

a-symbolic-and-real-

three-part-cycle-of:

infancy, adulthood, and

old age.

For every living soul,

equal time of

non-transferable 24-hour-

duration-

nature gives;

one-time-gift without

spare every soul

gets at birth.

Whatever is your color-

winter blizzard takes no

note and

whatever is your complexion

sunlight-the sweet

burn of summer-consider it

not.

At the beginning of life-

every human comes

through a narrow door,

interestingly, same person

departs through a wide door in

death.

Same needs-yes-

same wants,

from physiological needs

to safety,

feelings of being loved

and belonging,

recognition and admiration, and

self-fulfillment are common

pursuits,

every soul seek out

regardless of where

you live-north, south, east, or

west.

Let no color defines

who a man is,

let no place of birth

set you apart,

“We are the World…

God’ great big family”;

Remember same man,

same woman,

One WORLD.
