Looking at the world
Filled with people
With brown or blue eyes
Do you see as God sees
God sees hearts and souls
God created colors
Man created prejudice

Syllabic Verse (5 syllables)

Paled
And poor
Dreams fading
Into the night
He clings to the hope
That his fingers will find
A new sound upon the strings
That will refresh his weary soul
To arise from the blue funk of woe
And dance to the music of his heart
Etheree
