I have a question...

I have
a question
in my mind
that will not
leave me alone...

Like
a zen koan
the sound of
one hand cutting
cuts me to the bone...

What is Race?
What is Racism?
Wasn't Africa
the Mother to us all?
Aren't we all the descendants
of the children that she bore?
As we warily took our first
infantile steps upon her
ancient shore...

God is great...
too great for any
earthbound creature
to define or describe...
I begged God
for the answer
but the answer
never arrived...

Like the sound
of one hand slapping
its slapped my face again
waking me from this
dream called life
and making me wonder
when this dream
will end...
