a physical realm just short of infinity
and filled with an abundance of variety.
With life sustaining and replenishing itself
in multitudes, from the simplistic to complex,
the Architect expected Earth to be maintained
by humans granted the use of more advanced brains.

the epidermis being the palette of choice,
and under the surface we shared a common trait,
the capacity to determine our own fate.

Under the facade the virtues of compassion
were universally spread across all nations.

believe external appearance granted them the
false justifications to deny that weâre still
related under the skin by Creationâs will.
And those that chose to discriminate because of
body structure or pigmented skin will themselves
be segregated from the benevolent grace
reserved for all who embrace humanityâs face.
