Читать книгу Breathing Space - Harold J. Recinos - Страница 13

there are flashes to make

you wonder who reads the

history books packed with

screams hurled from brown

skinned and despised people

like me. we have lived for

centuries on these American

shores with flesh counted a

reason to fear, absorbed by

your need to deny this land

is not home for us. how long

must we endure fighting about

who belongs, mocking pale faces

dressed up with disobedient love

and blind to every sacred colored

face? when the next moon shines

and you allow the broken world

to make you think remember the

ticking clocks across the nation

speak the language of a thicker

past, tales about our brown bent

backs tilting toward equality where

freedom begins!
