Majority

By Sweeetsuz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am a member of the majority Being White I would not want to be the minority I might lose some opportunities People would do to me The things and ways they do To you Being Black I would find that I lack Certain things I need back Like dignity and equality But that is not for a minority People would do to me The things and ways they do To you Being Brown If I suddenly found me Brown It might turn my whole life around I would find that what I’d lose A whole lot more than I’d choose People would do to me The things and ways they do To you Being Yellow I might see an unhappy fellow Whose life would not ever mellow If I woke a were suddenly Asian Instead of being as I am Caucasian People would do to me The things and ways they do To you Then Revelation Finding a new level of education Brooking no chance at mediation Being female I am not the majority I have already been a minority People already do to me Things and ways they do To you Being woman.
