Color-Blind
December 18, 2012
When else do colors matter?
Not on a tree
When leaves are all orange and red and yellow
Sometimes they’re purple.
And some don’t even change- they just say green.
So who really cares?
Thank your lucky stars you can even see the colors.
Dogs can’t.
Dogs can’t be racist.
But people can,
And then they act like dogs.
