I live with many people of color
My wife is a woman of color
My neighbors are neighbors of color
I believe I’m a man of color too
I mean there’s some color
To my skin when I look at it
Here are all these people of color
Living together in America
Yes in 21st century America
From what I can tell we’re all
Doing pretty good we’re all
Free we’re all prosperous in
Liberty each in his or her own way
In the beginning God selected a
People of color to save the world
One color but not my color
That’s OK I trust that He
Knows what He’s doing
It just wouldn’t seem right
After all to call out the Creator
Of the human race for choosing
One color over another color
For choosing a Chosen People
People whom would bring forth a
Savior our Savior a Savior for
People of all colors and so I go to
Church and worship my Creator with
People of many colors many colors.

A fine write Gary. It would be slavery, if it was worship to any other god (small 'g'). In the hymn 'Make me a captive Lord', the next line is 'And then I shall be free', and so on through the whole hymn.
I've deviated from your main theme of colour (extra 'u' for us in UK!).
Many will prove that true freedom is found in doing what is right; consistently doing it; one by one. Christ had it right all along Orchidee. May God bless Great Britain!
Praise God Outback! This may be the first time in all of your writings (that I’ve followed) that you’ve actually printed a lowercase letter! And yes the distinction makes all the difference in the world.
