Black or White
a common soul
Beneath the surface
of hate resold
Uncolored ground
that buries deep
A shared endowment
— to haunt our sleep

I enjoy your writing. Your poem speaks to a universal audience but focuses on the shared experiences of people of different races, hinting at the shared struggles against racism.
Thanks, I'm glad it resonated.
The curse of racism
Amen, thanks.
A beautiful write Kurt where prejudice of any difference is a judgement against the offender not the one offended. Sad that nature seems that way. Even chickens have a pecking order against all weaknesses or differences.
Wise words, thanks.
You are most welcome Kurt
What a strong piece, my friend. The hatred may be taught and recycled, but what we share runs deeper than any of it…and that truth makes the division feel even more tragic. Excellent write, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Perfectly said, thanks.
