Bora born
A box of thoughts _
Coloured blood, full blood, tar blood,
scattered thoughts of dying minds.
Dates the generation
boxed in mentation
racist concepts help decide.
Prejudge those about you
feedback for a broken mind.
Indulge the senses
looks different, must be different
thoughts to justify.
Fear _ the base emotion
left as love retires.
The creative impulse resting
to wait the will to rise.
It takes some mental alchemy
to revive the dying mind.
Judge not, fear not, waste not
your carnal thoughts this kind.
