Poem Title:
Poem
These are not events that took place very far in the past These are obviously ongoing racial gaffes and contrasts Where human beings are bombarded and mistreated Where human beings are veraciously discriminated Against, where politicians with supercilious smiles And where election cheaters with camouflaged styles Expel and reject Black people such as Africans and Haitians And these same biased lawmakers welcome Ukrainians With open arms, because Ukrainians are Caucasians Because Ukrainians are Europeans and white In your judicious eyes, is this right? Black people are human beings too Haitians are people too Africans are people too Ukrainians are people too Are White human beings people too? Please say something. Please write something Please utter something. Please sing something Singing ‘We shall overcome’ is insufficient Not enough. You call yourselves ‘Christians’ Pour more Tetrahydrozoline HCL 0.05% in your eyes In order to see clearly that the moon is not circled with hollow pies From afar or from space, all humans are infinitesimally congruent All human beings have red blood in their veins And all humans are jam-packed with flaws and sins Moreover there exists neither white blood, nor black blood Blue blood is originating from chasmal whims, far from abroad Fair-minded Readers ponder And conscious minded Poets wonder Apparently, Republicans are pushy and obvious And Democrats are wishy-washy and dubious Human beings must not be chased by wild horsemen All humans must be welcome by clergy men and women Anywhere on Earth The Globe is everybody’s turf.
