who will help me
the poor black soul
that the world has abandoned
like lost mail they
did not return for?
& so i wait
& watch the world
day after day
get on with their lives
freely & unscathed
with the only ticket needed
their white skin
leaving mine
stamped invalid
& destined to turn
blood red
from brown
