Seeing Ourselves As .......


As chairman he was ready to go with
the fund to help needy adults and kids

The first refusal came from a Muslim
co-worker saying "No one likes us"

His Jewish friend wouldn't serve
because "Our friends now hate us"

The guy from Mexico stalled with,
"They tell us to go back to our land"

In his 'Obama" pride he doubted if
a Christian black man, could do it

He spent long minutes wondering
how admired heroes might handle it

Humbly he asked the decliners to
meet and hear about hateful distrust

After brief exchanges each began to
see prejudice in what others said

Agreement by three very wise men
would allow all persons to contribute


F William Broome 2008
