Just another rant... 

I saw his tears 
I saw her sadness
I saw their agony
I saw their surrender 

black 
brown 
white
gay
transgender 
so many unequals 
dying of something 
suffering from something

we are armchair critics
most of us
looking for change 
with a song and a dance 
waiting for what--
someone to die?

why only the black man
or the brown 
or the white 
Why only then do we wake up

my hands are stained
conscience flawed
but even I can see the futility
sermonize
intellectualise 
cannibalise our own 
look the other way 
and wonder why
it happens 
all over again.
