So I submitted this poem at Poet’s Corner. =) feel free to check it out in it’s entirety at the link below:

There’s somethin’ comfortin’ about being face down on the ground, Ground down by life’s natural violence, Violence treated as commonplace; a happenstance of race. Race you to the bottom – complacent in compliance….
