Black and White

The black I bear, The burden black, Betrothed bestowed, Bewildered Brain, Brown Disdain, But White I Bear, The Withered Fear, The willful woes of domination, Wake up World, To wider waves, Of hatred in the waning.

Powerful poem, Lucas. Unacceptable that a poem like this still needs to be written nowadays. Truth be told everyone feels a certain degree of injustice in the world... that is except those with friends in high places. There are a lot of us that fall in the gray zone, pardon my pun.
