Analysis of Cain and Abel Disasters
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
If i fell in love with …a Jewish girl,
a Muslim girl A Zulu girl,
or even just
another foolish girl
A foolish man
like me
what would you think?
That’d make me be
Would you even understand?
Or make me fight
just to stand beside her
Just for the right to take her hand
And if i wanted to raise a family
on a piece of land
Would you attack me like
a thief in the night?
Treat me like an enemy
Even take my life
And at the light of day,
you speak of making peace
You say we might be brothers
in our distant past
Being that we share
the same mother
Who are we?
