Facing It

As I reflect upon this day, 
Where a viral presence has 
Effected millions, give or take.
My mind shifts to racial inequities,
And how that's been a 
Huge cultural mistake.

Positioning face-to-face, and
Seeing eye-to-eye, doesn't require
Complicity, before going nose-to-nose.
Just some basic respect and
Understanding, where another's
Heritage and hope only grows.
