Thank you, D! 😀. I didn’t set out to write a poem but it happened. Haha. I read a few pieces about America by Langston Hughes, I read a quote by Baldwin, thought about WEB Du Bois, and my disgust with the mixture of racism and patriotism. This is what I got after all that! I think if you mix the colors at the beginning of the poem you get the color black but I’m guessing because I’m not an artist. Oh well, I tried. Thanks for reading and your response.
