Oh, Saints, Why Trying To Paint The World In One Hue? Comments

That 'blasted' black (no reference to hue) rectangle is again sullying AKA soiling part of the monitor/screen! ! I could just SCREEN! ! ! I meant SCREAM! ! ! ! !

I, Bri Edwards, believe that the members of the 'human race' will fail, at times horribly, to 'embrace' and 'love' all persons. It's nearly incomprehensible! !

(cont.) ...most people with African ancestors as 'Black', most of Asian descent as 'Yellow', and Native Americans [then known as Indians] as 'Red', nicknamed 'Redskins'. 'Pink' = Communists! White, Black, Yellow, and Red we called 'races' I believe.

line 7: I would capitalize 'Your', as it appears to be a new sentence. Growing up, I thought of myself (and others of usually 'European descent') as 'White', (cont.)

As I commented a month age, i don't even know if you are takeing 'hue' literally, i.e. to refer to, I think, human skin color, or if you refer to something else like LGBT or Jew, Moslem, Hindu, etc. : ) Why not have a Poet's Notes? ?

(cont.) 'The noun HUE means both a color and a shade of a color. Green is a hue, and turquoise is a hue of both green and blue.' So I believe Readers, like ME, may midunderstand your use of 'Color'. (cont.)

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT THE COLORS OF LIFE ARE 'necessary'. But I DO like your use of 'plain' & 'monochro I WOULDN'T SAY THAT THE COLORS OF LIFE ARE 'necessary'. But I DO like your use of 'plain' & 'monochromatic' in the same line, and I appreciate the rhymes you could spare. ha ha. (cont.)

I don't recall you answering some questions I asked about the poem a month ago, NOT that answering all comments are required, esp. if you, , for some reason, never read them. ;) bri

I'm back. in your title I suggest using 'Are You' in front of 'Trying'. I don't know why I didn't say that (and other things) when I commented a month ago! ;)

I see more than a religion here. I see supremacy and biased institutions in all walks of life.

The social fabric is torn apart. If only the world could hear you!

Loved the poem in all its shades. Top marks for this insightful poem and to my favourite........10

Fabulous thoughts and words, dear Poetess. Let's embrace the world in all its colours and enjoy the beauty in diversity.

I suppose you are targeting politicians here, they play religious card to divide and rule and they always want maximum on their side.

I think one has little (if any) control over being proud of a whole world of humans! bri ;)

Then there are 'generic saints'; I'm one, OF COURSE! And what ARE the colors? Do you refer to skin color, sexual preference, religions, political parties? WHAT? ? !

I mean it should not need an explanation other than what is said (clearly) in the poem. Here, what is/are the 'Saints'? Do you mean Roman Catholic saints, or Bible saints Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? ?

I'll give 3 stars. I'm tempted to give more, BUT you have no Poet's Notes to explain the poem AND, besides, a poem should (for me at least) NOT NEED an explanation to be understood.

The last stanza says it all, great thoughts to reflect upon.
