Verse
Dear
Daring wounds
to heal
enduring constant harassment.
Could I dare help my brother
citing evil my captain
Faults there are many
and some of these mine.
Had fathers, fathers indiscretions
become faults of mine?
Sorry I show
as the needy are plenty.
Plenty of olive, red, white,
and ebony.
Open your heart
and the mind will follow.
Take pride in a hue
but remember another.
I pray for the day
when our sons and our daughters
Will play side by side
regardless of color.
Embrace one another
start healing the wound...
