i do not know what it's like to be black
i can only relate in so much as i have felt the lack
of opportunity
that society has given to me
or all the bullshit my family taught me to believe
it makes me wonder how you keep from going under
we sit in our caves of privilege
isolated by indifference
the notion that "it's their problem, not mine"
or "ours"
or we fail to see that it's all our responsibility
to educate
liberate our minds
and free the binds of hate
but who's to blame, really?
the person who perpetuates the notions of those set before us?
socialization is so hard to overcome.
so insidiously ingrained
that we all have to strain
to see the vastness
of inequality.
