Raceisinm

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

What's
Racism?
I am here.
You different?
Problem: I see it!
They want us all the same.
We are what we eat.
They feed us fuel
Enflaming
The fire.
Done.

    This wants to make the point about racism but the poetry is not to be seen in this and the argument could be made with more merit. One is to think that the writing could be carried out with some splendor to make the case much better.
