Why Would A Question In Your Mind Persist? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You say you wish to know more about racism?
The reason for it,
And why it exists?

Take one step away from your doorstep.
And ask yourself this...
Is your environment exclusively lived?
Does your comfort zone condone a mix?

And if it does...
Why would a question in your mind persist?
If your neighborhood, family and friends...
Do not warrant it!

Unless you're one of 'those'
Wearing rose colored glasses.
