The quiet times in my mind
These images abound, unwind

What does one make of past-
histories, miseries I found-
voices beckonin’ to find...

The ‘architects of disgrace’
Sinful servants of an inhumane
space, a supposed superior race

I ache in my soul as scenes unfold
Darkened skin’s outcome “foretold”
When this ‘color-cause’ took hold...

N I wish one had words of wisdom
that could shatter loose those souls
sold on myths, why THEY are so great
nary a care all it spews is hate...

As the loudest moments search
somethin’ to grasp a breathe’s hope

I re-Chant a brilliant teacher, human
being, exercisin’ her loves’ scope

In honor of HER* I quote:

“We don’t need a colorblind society
We need a society that is no longer
blinded by color... “
