Beloved, we’re all blank canvases.
So we mustn't allow anyone
To paint us any differently.
Love is
Clear
Courage is
Clear
Compassion is
Clear
Honesty is
Clear.
But is justice
Clear?
So why do we paint
Laziness and
Idiocy and
Infidelity
Black?
But I,
I am honestly
Green
Because of the white canvas
That your white skin has given you.
