A poem about the current situation of black Americans |
| Christ's palms are outstretched with holes, bloody geysers fill his hands! I watch them like a shadow, a ghost among them. I stare at these protesters being beaten and broken because they are black. The ambiance reeks of a disguised slavery. Citizens fill the streets shattering windows and vandalizing businesses. Rioters are imbued with the craving of peace in their hearts. Their psyches are imprisoned with superficial control. Their minds are lambasted and pelted. I experience their distress and struggle in my own soul. I am their sister. What do you require the children to see? Should they be taught this injustice of human dignity? Should children grow up to regard themselves as servile because they are a different race? The potential of racists live by appearance. The potential of diverse people live by a free spirit! All cultures living together in harmony produces the greatest synergy of mankind! |
