We see others as our folks saw them–it’s ingrained. We have to change ourselves. Equality is just a word like freedom or justice. If it isn’t applied it’s meaningless.

It’s true, we have a long way to go here in America. It will have to start with each individual being determined to make things different.

Great poem. Too bad our government perpetuates these wrongs with the inability to shake off the pervasive racism that poisons our waters and the worst waters to poison are our youths fountain. Without a clear message….it will not stop. We have elected a great man for Prez, let’s let him do his work and not turn everything he does into a political quagmyre of digust. 8 years of failure is a tough one to tackle and you can’t right the wrongs in just 200 days…it’s going to take a bit of time. Let’s give him that time instead of the same old republican idealogues which got us in this mess from the get go. Great message Collette!

This is very true and I’m glad that you decided to write on this topic!!! It’s is well put together and makes some very important points in the economy today!!!

This poem rings true in every country in the developed world.
