THE BIG PICTURE - BY A MAN OF COLOR

THE BIG PICTURE - BY A MAN OF COLOR

If you just focus on the smallest details, you never get the big picture right.  - Leroy Hood

The big picture: One America.

Simple palette, primarily: White, yellow, red, and blue (from which all color comes).

Big country - our red, white, and blue.

With one citizen sworn to lead - our red, white, and blue. 

Red, White, and Blue

Mixed media (by the author)

These days four Congresswomen - fire team not squad - paint discord, against President and country.

Clash!

Women of color, claim they.

Complementary but not complimentary.  

Color?

American is a color; yellow certainly not.

Thus, countless the sacrifices to found, preserve, and advance democracy - America; our red, white, and blue.  

And defend and promote freedom about the world.

So mere noise - details - from small momentary office holders; the unjust focus of too many, of media.  

Giants our blood donors; for our big picture. 

Courage - moral, physical - proven.

We thank. We applaud. We salute. We remember, ever.   

Yet where oh where ye squads (three fire teams per) - of Congress, of America - entrusted, by law, by faith, with safeguarding our big picture? 

Rightly asks a simple man of color - a painter - of harmony; angered by discord for being duly sworn to America the beautiful, our big picture.
