White Walls


 

The Promise of Centuries broken, has

always left disillusionment 

Etched out faces run wildly with 

hinted hypocrisy, mocking the 

scattered, superficial surfaces of out

neighbourhoods, schools 

...communities

Equality has become the degraded

value of our century.

Ras' Crowd burst into animosity at

the Sambo puppeteers 

Their faces suggesting a mask

of comedy, toying with the 

crowd of masked tragedies.

As Jack's Eye becomes enlightened with

Tht truth...

Pop!..plop!

Our view drowned in unclear waters

Wrong over Right

Riot over Reason 

Color over Character

Forever bestowed upon

These White Walls.
