Why do we berate minorities?
It could be us, have you ever
Lived in poverty, gone hungry?
Tried to be autistic for a day?
Survived schizophrenia
Been disabled, grown old?
Have you ever broke your hip
And tried to rehabilitate?
Gone to jail and tried to
Reintegrate into society?
Have you ever been black
Or Hispanic in a society
That has predetermined your fate?
Have you gone to college
Only to find yourself
Unemployed and in debt
With student loans and credit cards
That you may never pay off?
It could have been you
Who got cancer while still young
Or suffered from depression
Until your wife left you
Or been that single mother
On welfare and without a friend
Or that immigrant who
Had to work a dead-end job
Just for a chance for their children?
Maybe it was you, who knows.

Happy New Year, Wuji!
This is so powerful and true! I absolutely love it.
I’m glad you liked it A.R.
Great message. Much respect to you.
Thanks sometimes I just try to write a human poem.
I survived only 4 of those so far, and am thankful, especially to people like you who SEE.
That’s a lot to survive, bravo!
thanks, I hope it gives me character!
Right on!
It does seem random at times!!
Ah which part is random?
The world is a better place because of understanding people like you, dear soul! π
Underneath your artistic perception of the world you are also a realist..and both are admirable qualities.
Wishing you a blessed new year ! π
Thanks that’s sweet Steph, Happy New Year!
