White America

I'm an American

I'm a White American

I'm from middle America

Born and raised

Between cornfields and Churches

Justified devil behavior

White-washed past

In favor of an ignorant present

I hear your comments

I look like you

I'm like you

In flesh only

My thoughts aren't yours

My beliefs aren't yours

Don't mistake the skin tone

For a common thought process

I don't support your bombings

I don't support your oppression

I don't believe in your labels

I don't worship your idols

I don't understand the ignorance

Of supporting the oppression

Of loving your guns

And killing everyone else

Racial classification sounds very important to you.

Very well said! I hope the powers that be hear it someday!

I think you and I could probably have a friendly chat over a cup of coffee and get along very well. (And even discuss politics!) I know exactly what you mean about your not being like you're "supposed" to be. These words of yours make the point quite well.

America , God bless you all..

~ a very moving and powerful piece of poetry... sadly, there are those who take to guns here too... and they're not white... so, this isn't a problem limited to one race... but your message is significant and very poetically relayed...
