Wednesday

 

if i were White,

i’d have a house

and rights

that were fair

to me.

 

if i were Red,

i’d be in jail, 

or in a chair,

or in the ground,

because of my heinous, heinous 

behavior.

 

if i were Blue,

it’d seem like this,

and i’d continue to have heels pressed into my back.

But I’m not Blue or Red or White.

I’m Black and so are you.
