never thought
we’d ever see
racism’s
resurgency

we’ve come so far
to face so late
the damage caused
by racist hate

if karmic forces
would rise above
grant our wish
transforming haters
into lives of love

if this can’t happen
at least deliver
our humble needs
turn racists into
harmless weeds

perhaps this happens
every year
which explains
weeds only purpose here
