Thoughts In My Head
I sat down and sneered to myself as I thought about

were Nature…
World hunger, disease, hatred between the races these things
will never go away. There is no respect, empathy, or understanding

I lean back in my chair once more.
I’d love to tell Jesse Jackson he’s twenty-five to fifteen percent white—
most blacks in America are
