I Love And Admire Poem by Atef Ayadi

how the race theory started.
few families from two
different minorities
started a project
to counter the very harsh reality of racism.
in schools,
who writes laws,
who has the right to interpret it,
and who amends and appends it.
who has power to art and rhetorics.
when i came to the states,
these two minorities
claimed i have no right
to talk, say anything, add a word, or express the self.
it looks, some have right to theories, the rest follows axioms axiomatically.
some call this,
opportunity
of those who came first,
other claim
it is what it is,
the way the universe
was set up.
stars are stars,
dust is dust,
gas is expandable.
and big fish eats tiny fish.
that is pure racism and lynching is not
far from that.

there are who is left,
and who stands in the right,
who is between,
who is above,
who is below,
who is beyond,
who is up and down,
who is on top
who is charm,
who is in the bottom,
who is completely disconnected,
who is free but untangled,
who is tortured in guantanamo,
and
who is living in a paradise island making amendments for every body else, including fish in the tank, animals in a zoo, and who should go to blow up a city or a the mountains.
