Deep within the chasm, <br />Lives the man without a name - <br />He’s come to represent <br />The secrets hidden in - <br />And so we, do we castigate <br />Those things not understood, <br />In culture and in worship, <br />In ideals and shades of skin <br /> <br />This society <br /> <br />Is it not hypocrisy <br />To cast as demons, if but only for <br />Subjective sin and character <br />Unlike our own - <br />If only I could exorcise <br />My coded prejudice, my DNA, <br />And pave a plane of equity <br />For our homogenous affinity - <br />And I would be the first <br />To grasp your outstretched hand, my friend, <br />To seal the man without a name - <br />To heal the man within.<br /><br />Kelly Vinal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-man-without-a-name/
