Middle-Aged White Woman (Free verse) by Dovina

Maybe it’s time. You look at me and see a symbol of conservative acts that hurt you. My kind abused your kind. Now with your freedom, your authority, your power, it’s time for retribution. Go ahead, ignore me, don’t hire me belittle me in your verse skip over me at your readings. My ancestors did it to your ancestors. You have the right. It’s a new experience for me, that’s all. Maybe it’s time.

D. as for as your poem reads why should I do you like
that? When my ancestors would'nt do you like that?
Some of the comments that were made to you. Some
people don't understand that all black people don't
feel the same about the past.Our father jroday taught
us to look at the past in a positive way, and what
I mean by that is look at what our ancestors had to
go through so we could have the future that we have today. and don't go out there in the world acting like
the world owe you something because you're black.
