The Elixir Of Life

Red blue green black and white
Your attire colour and height
Of disparities and inequality
Such a pity

Children of one god
All equal in his eyes
Yet there exists hatred
Across the paths a few tread

Seclusion and limited rights
And innumerous racial fights
Exploitation and condemning
Sadly, this is just the beginning

Of an unjust world
Where unity is a far off cry
With abuses and curses hurled
And no intention to even try

To curtail this sin
For colour does not decide
Who gets to win
A place by God’s side

The elixir of life
When drunk with love
Can put an end to strife
And obtain his grace from above
