poem of the day November 30
Thumbs on
the scale
from so
many years
of pushing
down on
the system
have led
to systemic
pressures
like racism
which have
burrowed
so deep into
the American
consciousness
that the flaws in
our foundation
are now an
undetectable
part of all of us
Making it impossible
to understand
the true balance
of compassion
Where even those
who believe
they are full of
unconditional love
are thrown off balance
by inherited bias
without even knowing
