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.

My Friday night is going unracistly, and so is my poem. How you can see any implication of racisism in this poem is beyond me. If anything it favors Blacks, but I would not even admit to that if challenged. To say that one race is slightly worse than another, thereby justifying favoritism is ludicrous. And why do you always step in to defend Dark Angel, as if he needs your help?
