Right to my heart..and experience. So many memories are relived through this piece. Not too loud, never get angry, don't tell us what you think, keep it to yourself....the gunshot...I endured a couple gunshots..and one of them gave me multiple sclerosis...as a result..thanks Suzanna!
“You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.”
At what point does this 'special treatment' end and no one is given an advantage to atone for some past injustice?
That last line...
Be smart, not too smart. Pow! Smile, but not too wide. Pow! Whatever you do, do not be angry. Bang!
With your brilliance, you've done it again. Thank you for putting words to the personal angst I'm feeling about social justice these days.
Wow, Suzanna! So very Powerful!
Wow! That poem is so powerful. It needs to be out there for the world to see.
Succinct and strong rebuke!
Another powerful poem about the backtracking of our country. Thank you.
Powerful truth.

This cuts to the bone. Well done.
Thank you, Suzanna. I am passing these powerful words far and wide.
