Replying to a comment on:
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
