Racism worships the skin we inhabit by chance,
religion the spirit we embrace by choice.
The former is slavery which cries for freedom,
the latter a liberty which delights in limits.
One makes claim of the body as who we are,
the other speaks of the soul we are becoming.
Eternal light breaks itself into the colors of time
only to become rebound as artistry sublime.
