(703) Poison Me White Poem by Melvina Germain
(703) Poison Me White
We see difference,
we see hate.
Go to school, discriminate.
Fight the enemy, hide the scars.
Hold your tears behind bars.
Pick up sticks, hurl the rocks.
Go to Church, march for blocks.
Martin dreams
End the hate
Celebrate
come together one and all.
Hold hands,
stand tall.

Very fine and noble sentiments expressed here. You have my applause, Melvina. Love, Sandra
Melvina, discrimination come in many forms and all of them wrong. If we could only live in a world where everyone was equal in everyone's eyes. Nice thought, but hard to realise it ever happening only amongst the poets. A very powerful statement you have written and I for one agree with your sentiment entirely. Thanks for sharing it. David
I read this yesterday and rated you but did not leave a comment! I am now! What a most powerful piece, and full of deep expression...and i might add i am in total agreement! Brillant, theo
yes discrimination of age also. i'm trying to find me a part time job, i'm on S.S. and no one seems to want to hire me. so i can relate to this great piece you wrote here.
It`s not just white and black, it`s fat and thin any difference at all, discrimination begins, thats the darkest sin... Melvina
