invisible

some colors are faceless
gone invisible
their places traceless
and invisible

their hues
not invisible
but blind excuses
gone invisible

Black-Browns
are invisible
like Red-Yellows
are invisible

mighted-Whites
aren't invisible
removed from sight
yet still visible

racism the foe
still visible
denied but
still visible

if God hated colors
be visible
racism has no colors
just invisible




*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -Since it's useless to cry out, smile at yourself, since you're not so brave every day.

  -...don't waste your time in being for or against.  Let the almost nothing between the lines grow within you and take form.

  -Refuse to live for work, money, the illusion of happiness, the distant future.  Your sons will take care of themselves.  They are no more important than those of the janitor.  Therefore, reject efficiency at every price and any action that isn't meaningful to you.  Give top priority to the decision to create a space and time for games, gratuitousness, the unexpected, for what can be neither bought nor sold, the instant: "enduring love."  People don't decide to love, but if the way is cleared, love sometimes survives.  These are sufficiently in agreement with Christian experience.

  -It's harder than you think to prosper in society such as it is, to accept its ruling ideas, without participating in inhumanity.

  -If you're caught in the daily round, let your anger build up: it's an indication of hope.

  -You'll have to  to be willing to lose respectability and all false social virtues, but you'll give joy to someone, to a few - and that's enough.
