Racism (Free verse) by Dovina

When a tiger's ripped your arm off and six have opened your belly head and heart all wounds now old and scarred then anything looking like a tiger makes you wary to say the least I am not a tiger as you suspect but only look that way an appearance I cannot change and you could know it too if you'd let me have some time But you cannot allow the risk and I will not pursue So warily we eye each other til someone makes a move

Oh, I see, my statement is one a moron makes. Again, you do not use the dictionary definition. I said the difference is debatable, but you must admit there is a wide difference between the white and black races, wider than between most races. And besides it's a side issue, not the thrust of my comment.

Race is distinguished only by physical characteristics in the traditional definition.
