Long White person Poems

Dear John,

All day
yesterday
I loaded up with a cascading river
of mixed anxiety and anticipation
about what to safely and kindly,
transparently and vulnerably
compassionately, so non-violently, share,
what to communicate;

Which narrative tributaries to choose
within this vast spacetime stream
of choices
directions
felt depressions...

Who am I? Am I even human? What is my place in this world?
I am confused, sometimes I do not even feel like a human being.
Like a boat in a stormy sea, I aimlessly drift...

Colors
Black, brown

Something that has been an issue since the beginning of time

Colors unite 
Colors causes actions out of spite
Colors are all different shades
Colors has been one of the leading causes of death for decades

Bringing up all these colors 
Like red, white, orange, and blue

Brother Gaus


Gaus is a Rainbow man
Only that he’s not curved.
He’s just a miscellany
That makes him striking.
Gaus has a funny knack
Of repairing any gadget

He can service the lot
Except his own...

black and white views 

In this era
Of extreme polarization
We have lost our sense 
Of humanity

Seeing the same event
A black man walks to his car
Confronted by five cops

The Nameless


Slipping through the sieve of history,

the nameless rest.

Not for the nameless are roads renamed, nor monuments built.

Not for the nameless are songs sung, nor ink spilled.

muted trauma,

remain interred,

amongst their...

Lovely dreams and childish beliefs

Despite my skin color, my ethnicity, my breed
Well, I am broken-hearted, crushed dreams,...

Some whisper black, some mumble white,
When you marry them; they experience a stream of delight 
The world started its life with the two colors united,
Then why there is a system that divides them?

The Race Thing 
My ignorance was total, xenophobia in Africa; no, not
white people against black but black on black.

No I’m not shocked...
