The Racist Groan
By Sharon Elizebeth George
Show thy faces
All pretty and nice,
Call out the races
Wrecked in surprise.
Finest thee look
Like the oldest of wines,
Smother thy chaos
To the shine of the dime.
Wisdom I fetched
From thy faintest sight
Swept by the riddle
Oh beauty and price
Hold thy breath
To a step far away
For if not away
Might turn it in grey!
