Out of the Red

Even though I colored my hair red

it does not mean that I am out of the blue

feeling like a "minority"

is hard

to say the least

judgements made

for who I am

not belonging to the red

yet

point is made

red discriminates

making one feel less

than one who one is

in a foreign country here

where I disagree

with everyone else

red stands

but

with a blue heart

sharing

not declaring

yet innocently

seeking

truth

to be a part

of history

in its making

change

don't follow leaders of

long ago

let go

surrender

to the love

which one shares

not surrending to power

which one dares

I do believe in love

I believe in humanity

of the goodness of this earth

rising from existence

of history

learning

not destroying

the heartfelt

of sharing

not declaring

humanity

at its worst

not being

one of politics

yet

this country seeks

democracy

going into the blue

the blue, blue waters

of history

make it better

for your children

to live a life

of

serenity

peacefulness

when debates

are abolished

such a circus

they are out there

search inside

find the blue

the blue pearl

of humanity

reaching

inside
