Change Is Needless


Change does not come easy

But

If it did

Humanity would not be observed

At

Face

Value

 

Politically Correct

Has become a career

Business men march

With their briefcases

Full

Of

Lists

 

Do not say

what is true

Keep the facts

Down to

Brands

And

Titles

 

My skin

Is white and

Hers is black and

His is Brown and

We

Are

Labeled

 

Why do Psychologists

Debate upon nature and whether

Children see in black

And white or if

Parents

Feed

Racism

 

The answer is there

Seen from the cast plastic eyes of the

Slide and Monkey Bars

Color is

Unrelated

To

Leapfrog

 

Change is unnecessary

Childish minds are best

Untainted.

Growing up brings

Wisdom

And 

Ignorance
