Deep Thoughts About Race

Yes, I am thinking about the human race Please note that race has ‘four letters’ And most four-letter words Can cause problems, ills, havocs and wars Race is to describe what fills up the space It is a trivially descriptive and unstable concept Like water, liquid or gas with no obvious context The human race is synonymous with humanity Which makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately Witless people who talk crabs and craps tend to misuse This four-letter word with bias, single-mindedness and hubris It is basically grouping what one presumes, envisions or sees Race means nothing, lees, dregs and slags with no sound gist Fill in the blank, if you can As we all know, first God created one man and one woman I wonder who would disagree with this assessment For procreation’s sake that a man and a woman Form a couple to make babies or infants Race means species. How many species did God conceive? The Almighty Providence created Adam and Eve I feel strongly that God solely cares about one race The only one that he created in the Garden On Earth was born somewhere in Africa Like it or not, we are descendants of two Africans I dare anybody to prove that I am incorrect or false Next time somebody mentions or talks about race Feel free to laugh as loud as one can in this person’s face Real history is full of stories, theories, jokes, lies, guesses and farces Nowadays in order to be politically correct, ‘men’ in plural, one would say A man and a woman. Amen! We also know that ‘men’ love to divide To conquer, to lie, to cheat, to invent and to betray with false pride Keep on thinking deep! Let’s not stop until we comprehend the nonsense Around you and me (humanity). Let’s protect the human race Let’s not dissect and divide humanity, by inventing more races In the wind, under the sun, the moon and the stars Did God create many groups or species? Let’s think deep, deep about the human race. Copyright © February 2022, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
