Skin
by Henry Burt Stevens
10/6/2003


Shades of skin color
make so much difference


We must count them
and compile a score


Because we've been
doing it right along


We can't stop now;
it's for the programs


Yes, it's foolish but
intermarriage may fade


Again white will be white
and black will be black


If not, then we can count
eye shape, eye color.

ROFL. You've done a great job here of showing us our insanity.

Prosetry at Work by Odin odin@aflx.com

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
