The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

Sink into that addicting smile
As we try to cross the boundries
Of what we limit ourselves to
To see the stars from up above
Shining rainbow colors and blinding eyes

We need not fear
What stirs the hate
In this so called "Melting Pot"
If we are supposed to intertwine
In harmony...
Then we have no need for
A color coded sociaty

Instead of a "Melting Pot"
We are more like a bag of M&Ms
With everybody locked inside
Their thin candy shell

It is sad that some
Red M&Ms dislike the Blue
Just because they have a different color
Aren't they all chocolate on the inside?

Why limit our people to color or race?
Why can't we be brave,
And taste their chocolate,
Before we judge them.
What happens when you leave
M&Ms out in the rain?
Thats right! the color washes away
And no one can judge based on color anymore
You have to taste the chocolate first.

Really enjoyed this. Strong message, great analogy. Poetry is a great way to get your message across. Hopefully, everyone will see the message in your words. Keep writing!

Yay! M&M's are soooo good. I really liked this and the message is soooo true. Great job with relating race to colors of something of interest.

That was a great message that should be herd by everyone. we are all the same inside, it is too bad that there are shallow people out there that worry about skin color, relgion, or even the clothes we wear or music we listen to. we are all humans and we all deserve the same respect! it is so true when they say treat others like you want to be treated.

great poem! keep up the good work!

To repeat everyone else great analogy...

But what are those limited edition colors you sometimes get in M&M's ?

Are they aliens?

Great poem!

There should be a psychology of feet. For do we not make decisions with our legs and walk about on our brains? What do you mean "No, not really"?

Great job on this.
What a creative way to make a very important statement.
VERY well done.
