Yellow Man

Yellow man
In the midst
Of mixed colors,
Feel not
Be free.

Nature
Opens its cage
For your kind
To be locked up
And self-destruct
Ad nauseam.

Can you kill
Like whites, browns
And others?

Your blood
Is shed
For the folly
That was
Your greed.

There is no colour bar to barbarity and savagery. Sadly human nature is.....human nature. If governments spent as much time and money on peace as they do on war this would be a different world.

Strong imagery. The yellow man has the freedom to kill (or not) but he kills, in doing so loses any uniqueness his color may have afforded him.

It makes a point to me. When you tailor your actions based on how they will affect others rather than yourself. You've done yourself a discredit both coming and going.
