The night is falling on Halloween
No trick or treaters, there is too much fear
and it is turning bitter cold
It didn’t used to be this way
America has changed
The media has helped
to instill fear in us
but the streets are less safe
Blacks are afraid of whites
Whites are afraid of blacks
far too often
How do we break down this wall
How do we get past the tension
It is a primal feeling:
to feel more comfortable
with “your own kind”
A terrible way to put it
but that’s the way I see
our problem
our problem
of racial division
in the USA
140 years past the Civil War
