And now, they’re fearful, too
Their skewed view of the world
Has poisoned everything they do
In their innocence
They were taught to hate and lie;
To think their right to live
Meant those not like them had to die
Someone said, “Don’t rejoice yet.
Just wait a little while."
Before the Sun could even set
They killed another child.
Should I believe my eyes this time?
Should I trust what I see?
Should I ignore the failures;
The inconsistencies?
Should my black skin alone
Be what inspires what I think?
The red blood shed filled me with dread
What of the child in pink?
