WE SURVIVALS OF THE FITTEST

(A Tanka Quartet)

As if sage raccoons,

Let’s survive and overcome

We’ve out-battled worse:

Slavery, denied voting,

And days of the hooded clan:-

Let’s not be dismayed,

Ancestors did more with less,

Sojourning onward;

Leaving us with more courage,

And less to be overcome:-

Time to get it on,

Justice can’t be blind,

Nor we, impotent;

Let’s get to overcoming

Today’s political strife:-

Let’s get together,

Irrespective of the hue;

Time’s waiting on us:-

Let us not be in pity;

We've survived worse bigotry!
