The Dignity of the Races - Jayro Dyer

[Larry Robinson]

The Dignity of the Races

the innocent faces 
of the many races
cause explosive reactions
in the brains of many
leaving traces 
of negative thoughts and feelings
that were taught 
from the beginning

the work is 
letting the fog
cover angry lessons
save smiles and tears
till the landscape clears
and walk the peaceful plank
that many think they can’t
because those faces 
stand in the way 
of happiness, their happiness

I know, for I have seen 
how they go on without realizing 
that happiness resides
in all the faces
for everyone 
has their own happiness
and their own dignity
the dignity of the races
