PLEASE READ The poem that inspired the book. THE LITTLE BLUE MAN
One person of every race and creed Was invited by a man, To join him in a meeting And bring peace to every land.
With hopes of having peace on Earth From far and wide they came, Men of all races, men of all creeds; Some caring, to some just a game.
One by one they arrived and were seated, Then they all noticed one empty chair. “Where’s our host?” yelled one man to the others. “He’s late and I’m sure he sits there.”
They started the meeting without him, But with their differences just couldn’t relate. So they decided to cancel the meeting And living in peace had to wait.
Then suddenly their host ran into the room, Yelling, “Don’t leave, I’ll help if I can.” But they called him, “Old Blue,” and laughed when they saw Their host was a Little Blue Man.
“You all have the right to be different,” he said. “But your ways forced onto others must cease. If you lose a debate but as friends still relate, You’ll help lay the foundation of peace.”
“Muslim, Yellow, Christian, White, Buddhist, Black or Jew; Your creeds, your colors or beliefs, Aren’t why I care for you.”
“I am blue unlike all of you, Yet, in my house we can all abide. But a blue man to you is so different, You’re embarrassed with me by your side.”
“I’ll be on my way, I have friends to meet Who have differences just like you. But they live together as brothers And to them, I’m not Old Blue.”
“Many names in the past you have called me, I wasn’t Old Blue till we met. But a blue man to you is so different, The good names you seem to forget.”
“When you’re brothers, I’ll come back to see you, And the same path together we’ll trod. Then, call me the names you’ve replaced with Old Blue, Like Allah, Jehovah, or God.”
If you judge or put down other people Change you’re ways as fast as you can. For someday you may be condemning someone
