Colour blind | our reflective space

Some of us are gifted
In not knowing
The difference
Between red and green.

Many of us cannot
Recognise the difference
In the colour of people's skin
No matter where they were born.

Some people do
Make judgements about others,
Notice others' skin colour,
Not knowing their own ignorance.

When you meet me
Learn my name
Not my face, race or beliefs.
Be Colour Blind and love me.
