Light of the suns and stars of heaven,
The sweet warm air, and the green earth sod,
And birth and death unto all are given,
Children alike of the selfsame God.
What matters the ebony locks or flaxen,
The skin of snow, or the skin of tan?
Indian, Afric, Mongol, Saxon-
Within are the heart and the soul of Man.
(Ina Donna Coolbrith)
