Saddled by racism. <br />Their minds are addicted. <br />Regardless of a quality of life... <br />Strangling to exist, <br />From this twistedness. <br />And a society constructed, <br />By a promotion of it... <br />Finds itself lost in times. <br /> <br />And a collective mindset, <br />Found scrambling to find... <br />A way to deny a consciousness, <br />Clearly demented. <br />With beliefs what is seen, <br />Does not demean. <br />And this illness persisted... <br />Becomes a wound picked. <br /> <br />Never allowed to heal!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
