A Pool Of Sharks Poem by Doris Cornago

A Pool Of Sharks

Rating: 5.0


So many faces, so many races
Our life undergoes so many
Phases, seeking definition
By our color, that's a door
Couldn't help but laugh
At that shortsighted
Crap, swimming
Through a
Pool full
Of
Sharks
That's what
When you try
To associate color
With anything credible
You're blinded by your mind
Black is beautiful, why not, but
Also, white, brown, yellow and a
Mixture of what's in between, who's
Gonna win this I-me-mine game, who is
To blame, but all of us trying to seek same

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
We were brought up oriented to the color of our race and what passes for nationalism, not knowing that seeking sameness as a means of gauging safety, leads us to a slope, sliding to lack of understanding, or a 'pool of sharks' in a feeding frenzy, instinctively, by what's not the same, is free for all game.

Again, no photo to go with this poem so as not to predispose your mind to sameness or opposition. Please do not be a shark. If you want to develop any instinct for survival, try kindness.
