Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Love Is Blind

A black man passing by smiled at a white girl.
The white girl ignored him and stuck her nose in the air.

A white girl smiled at a black man as she was passing by
He did not smile back he did not dare

A black man and a white woman passed by looking
At each other with eyes full of love without a care.
So there!
