In Memory                                                         Of Martin Luther king

Does one have
that mental
Deficiency
that curable disease
of the mind
That
Lack of Understanding
that one is not
Firing
on all cylinders
At Any Time
Ignoring
that a tune up
is required
a little self maintenance
to realign
your firewall
Against Becoming
Character Blind
To Feel
Though their words
To see
Though their clothes
to pass by the color
of their Skin
Down to the Skeleton
of their
Character

For when one is
Character Blind
One is
Nothing More than
Collateral Damage
just Prey
to be
Used
and Confused
to be
what most of us are
