I was told To observe Not to intervene To listen Not to be vocal To tolerate Not to offend I was told What is holy? What is unholy? To seek light in the dark And to stay rooted I was told To be kind next to My space My home My nation And practice act of forgiveness I was told When mind thinks wrong Beware of self I was told All the above And many more Something wrong! Never did they tell How long? I have to stay numb Or hold the belief That shadow is me Tell me
