Under the hood
Find a frightened white
Man.
Afraid of change
Afraid of diversity
Afraid of losing his every
Privilege.
Inside the ‘hood
Find a frightened brown
Man.
Afraid of hate
Afraid of censure
Afraid of losing his very
Life.
Would they know each other’s
Fear
If they met outside the
Hood?

A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

After I published it I wondered if it might have been a bit presumptuous of me. But it felt right at the time.
