Notes About The Poem

Unmask, Thats all we ask.  Show us who you are;  For Christ's sake, this is America.

Ice Man

“ICE MAN”

Hey, Ice Man!
Why must you hide
Behind that mask?

Where are you from?
I want to know.
Are you like I?
Why do you fear being known?

Are you a friend?
Are you a neighbor?
Are you a teacher, a preacher?

I just want to know,
Who you are,
Why do you hide your face?

Hey, Ice Man!
I just want to know,
If you are my son?

					  
Unmask, that’s all we ask
