Lord of All
COAT OF MANY COLORS LORD OF ALL
drawn by
Thomas Blackshear
COME UNTO ME
AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST
it doesn't matter
what color you are
it doesn't matter
how you show your love
I offer unconditional
love for all my creations
no one is better
than anybody else
or even of a
superior race
can you choose
which child
you like best
I created the whole universe
to hold mankind
my greatest work
and my greatest
disappointment
they're too eager
too choose the
perfect race the
perfect people among
their idea of what
perfection is
killing off what
they consider to be
below their society
I don't understand
if I could not choose
what makes them
believe that they
have the wisdom
no I created
perfection
the great tapestry
that mankind
represents inside
of my being
the brilliance of the
rainbow on the
coat of many colors
that the planet Earth
wears depends on the
color of all mankind
no one is above
anyone else I
should know
I AM THE CREATOR
I AM LORD OF ALL
