QUARANTINE LIFE: ANOTHER NAME TO SAY



They were taught by fearful people 

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?
