What are you waiting for?
Little One
Where is the little girl I knew?
The one who played hopscotch
With pigtails hanging down on her shoulders
I remember the freckles that covered your nose
You played baseball and you played with lizards
And you thought boys were yucky
That was so many years ago
You grew up until you were an adult
The freckles disappeared a lifetime go
The pigtails left long before that
You became a woman
Strong and beautiful
And boys are no longer yucky
I do have to tell you my Little One
When I see a picture of you now
I do not see the sexual woman the camera sees
I still see that little girl
Wearing pigtails and playing hopscotch
Playing baseball with the yucky boys
That is the girl I see and I always will
And that Little One will never change
The Segregated
Sitting in the backyard garden
Waiting for the sun to rise
It comes too early to let me sleep
Too late to stop my mind from wandering
Thinking about the people who are segregated
Not allowed to live the life they should
For the majority they don’t exist
Primitives to be caged like animals
Not allowed to speak for themselves
Their lives are ruled by others
Others who live their lives a thousand miles away
They do not know those people
They have never met a single one of them
Yet they have to live as the others decide
Maybe if the sun rises on others
If it gives them time to think
The segregated will be seen as humans
And they will have a voice that someone will hear
Once again they will be human
