Poem Commentary

"People of color weren't the only ones affected by Katrina but they where the majority and as always it leaves that open ended question that may never be answer. If the majority where white would the victims of Katrina fair much better?"

Brown Tears.......

Tell me what is the going price for brown
tears ? Will I fair better if I don't allow
them to fall will you pay more?

If my tears remain clear will you see what I
see that I am human like all the rest deserving
of dignity and respect.

Brown tears I hold them high so you won't pass
me by saying God bless the child that got
his own now leave me alone.

Brown tears If I hold them high will you see
that I am integrity and honor no more a thief
then those who eat and sleep beside you.

Brown tears I hold them high forgive me if I
cry because all I can ask is why.
Why is it that you at a moments notice can come
to the aid of everyone except your own.

Everyone knows there no such thing as brown
tears except for the victims of Katrina they
now know that they are real.

Tell me what is the going price for brown tears?
Would you pay more if I don't allow them to fall?

Very powerful pieceand beautifully wrtitten. Regardless of what is on the outside, we all feel, we all bleed, we all cry. Humanity is wonderfully diverse and maybe some don't realize what a blessing that diversity truly is. This one is going to have me thinking all night. Great work!

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
