a childhood rite
to swim with friends
splash and play
dog paddle

miss lily white attitude
says
i don't like
to share my water

skin's too dark
too many of you
don't come back
here's your refund

I like this, I've seen this. Very sad.

Thanks all

I saw this story and it made me cringe....to think this is 2009 and this sort of thing is still happening.
