The Human Race
I don’t mind the human race.
Especially since I pay most of them no attention.
“I am apart of all that I have met”
The walking contradictions
The ones who are dying inside
Yet slave to make others smile
Teens who wish to be out living life
But are instead inside only because
They have no resources
Or friends
Middle aged dads who attempt to
Do all the “new-hip” dances at their daughters parties
College students who have been called “Charcoal” their whole lives
Who are attending a school where everyone else is colorless
The elders who are accepting that they are losing their powers
The humans who do graffiti
Instagram-obsessed losers
The couples that are Ivory and Ebony
Teachers who don’t teach
Heartbreakers, who see no mistakes in what they are doing
The humans who create masterpieces and help me get through the day
Who hate their surroundings, but have no outlet
Wishing they were in Miami
The woke colored teens who are scared to walk in white neighborhoods
The sleep ones who don’t believe that the white man will pull the trigger
Who will survive in America?
The obstacle is the path
I don’t know who I will meet in my lifetime but
I don’t mind the human race
