emb(RACE)
It is too bad we give race a face
Of colored behavior –
Yellow, brown, black, or white
We let these filters limit our sight.
And we blur the lines that confine
The beauty
Of being.
See,
We are not seeing –
Through the blue-green eyes that are sea
Deep,
Thriving with sorrow and joyous life.
We have got to bury our minds under the skin
To embrace
The created space
And give race a new face
Of diversity.
