#NotAll

[Hijiri Byakuren]

Whether you're black or white or red or brown,
#NotAll wants to keep you down.
No matter how much you wish it weren't this way,
You'll always be guilty no matter what you say!

~ a poem by Hijiri Byakuren


Fair and balanced (like Fox News).

I'm not a poetry buff, but I did kind of like this.  Partly because it taxes my brain.  I had look up #NotAll, and sure enough, it has apparently become a thing with a meaning of it's own.  But at the moment, I'm lost, and I'm afraid that asking someone to explain this poem to me will ruin its mystery.

Oh, I could probably write an essay on what was going through my head as I wrote this, but I hope that the black comedy of the poem can speak for itself. It's directed at myself as much as anyone else talking about social justice on this site.
