The American Canvas
A Poem From A Citizen Artist
What truly makes a nation great?
Is it our military?
Is it our ruling party?
No it is our nation’s people
Their color of character, of course
Not a color
Not a group of colors
But all the colors
The White
The Black
The Brown
The Mixed
The Synonymous and the Complementary
Every person is a color
And thus have the potential to richen any land
But be weary of pride
Do not even teach pride
For pride leads even noble souls to folly
One’s color is not an achievement of merit
And is omitted of pride
Have confidence in your color and being who you are
Not pride
Be knowledgeable of your own surroundings
Do not adhere to that which makes you comfortable
Complacency creates stagnation
Which in turn feeds ignorance
And indulges chauvinism
Observe and embrace uncertainty
Blend
Mesmerize
Enhance
And build one another up
It takes color to make a masterpiece
And America is the Canvas.

I'm an artist who paints, write, draws comics and make jokes at just how messed up things really are. I believe if you can face the horrible truth in life then you can find happiness much easier.
