it's up to us,
people who in this age
are seen as "white,"
although in truth
we're all just a mix like everyone
of human genetic soup;
it's up to us
to erode White Supremacy,
the great World Lie,
the longest American
evil, until it
breaks, dissolves
into dust
and final impotence.
it's up to us,
you know. why?
because we have the influence,
each
in our own small spheres;
because we can,
we must.
oh, yes, I know,
most of us must serve
so many duties.
most of us are weary.
that's all right.
don't let
the distractions,
excuses,
rationalizations,
confuse you til you
do nothing.
just
do what you can
to advance the erosion.
use your influence
if you can,
when you can,
how you can.
and you can.
it's up to us, you know.
