Mike Gentile Poet Acrostic

Race For Tomorrow

Just what is race?
What does it mean?
By book
A group of common ancestry
Superficially diverged
             By only what is seen

Will differences
Not be mended
In future
Will there be a race for tomorrow
One race comprising all
          A world that is blended



R ace for tomorrow
A nger dissipated
C olor erased
E volved thinking

F airness for all
O ne family of man
R ivalry negated

T errorism ended
O rder restored
M alice allayed
O utcry ceased
R eady to love
R ecipe for joy
O thers accepted
W orld peace

Gershon Wolf November 14, 2018 at 2:02 PM A primer on the true meaning-lessness of race...While it's foolish to profess to be 'color-blind'---who, in his right mind, wants to be that?---we can all surely strive to be 'color-accepting'... all colors under the sun!! Bravo, Mike! Best wishes, Gershon Mike Gentile November 14, 2018 at 6:20 PM So true, thanks Gershon!!
