Our Racial Oneness
There is but one God.
Universal Energy.
The Lord Almighty.
To which all nations bow down.
Beyond human differences.
There is but one race.
Universally expressed.
The race of mankind.
Seen as many, yet as one.
Beyond surface differences.
Evil separates.
Rebukes the universal.
Seeks to be mighty.
Would divide and conquer us.
Despite our human oneness.
Don’t be fooled, pal.
To speak of “Other Races.”
God made only one.
With various shades of color.
Like him — known by many names.
Return to oneness.
To universal kindness.
See all as equal.
Don’t fall prey to division.
That is not God’s desire.
The view from outside.
The site of all temptations.
Corrupts all vision.
From what is inner oneness.
Where there is no division.
Return to oneness.
Where race is only mythic.
Human invention.
To separate all peoples.
The craft and ploy of hatred.
There is but one race.
Universally expressed.
The race of mankind.
Seen as many, yet as one.
Beyond surface differences.
About this poem
Despite God’s oneness and our racial oneness, made in the image and likeness of God, we fall prey to evil, deceit, and divisiveness, thereby losing our common dignity, our innate strength, and our ethics and morality, that are restored in human unity.
