watching white children play
wondering why they weren't black,
a white man in the shadows stand
on the other side of town, watching
black children play, wondering
why they were not white....
two cultures live in harmony on
opposite sides of a city, not knowing
what exists on the other side... and,
too afraid to venture out of their
own comfort zones to explore...
each has their own reality and each
wonders why there cannot be more,
each hides for fear of being discovered
and dealing with the consequences of
an angry mob.... and, in the daylight
hours each man goes about his business
as if there was nothing more to think.
