Can we all just get along?

 

What do you think would happen if I held my breath waiting for the answer?

 

If we could

 

I wouldn't see idiots wearing their bed linen and looking like cone heads

 

Or

 

I wouldn't have to shake in fear when the police pull my car over for

 

"seeming suspect"

 

Or

 

Worry about laying in the dark bleeding to death from 41 shots

 

Or

 

Being mashed to a bloody pulp for strolling into Bensonhurst

 

I would  be free from having the knowledge that secluded neighborhoods

 

actually does exists

 

Or

 

Walk inside a store without some small minded bastard following me

 

around

 

Insisting that I "hurry up and buy"

 

We may have "come a long way baby"

 

When it comes to technology

 

But not far enough

 

Where as my skin color could still be the death of me

 

Can we all just get along?

 

NIGGER PLEASE!!

I don't think it's a stupid question, just one that doesn't have a simple answer.

Re: A Dumb Ass Question:
hello and thank you for responding  this is one of the poems that is in my book titled black butterfly. I've been writing for a while but I've .finally found the nerve to actually  get publish. I hope that my book will be successfull and God willing plan to write another book of poetry and a book of short stories. Thanks to family  and friends who pushed me (really hard) lol . At one point in my life I did'nt think  that my poetry was any good, but now I think that my self esteem is a little higher than it was, I am still a work in progress.

Re: A Dumb Ass Question:
i like your response to my poem, i never thought of it that way. the reason i wrote it was because of rodney king asking that "dumb ass question" on television after he got his ass whupped by those cops and they got away with it. then i said to myself  duh is'nt it obvious that we are never going to get along, it will always be the same ie: amadu diallo, jena six, sean bell, sadly this circle of racisim will always rear it's ugly head only to claim it's next victim.
