    Where I'm From

    Once the"Outcasted"now in numbers deep,We
    came in on the hush-hush as our fathers made
    their creep.As babies started"boomin"to the
    bi-racial beat.Full breaded infants made a
    retreat.Prejudice runs rampant seems to never
    dissipate.Yet mixed children are produced at
    a staggering rate.What once was unaccepted,a
    family secret to be hid.Is now a growing fac-
    tor that can't be rid.I myself am an example
    of the hybrid offspring.Of the beginning gen-
    erations one of the 1st they came to bring.I
    lived thru hate and wonder,wore the title as
    a"Racial Blunder".But by the time I bore my
    own.There were thousands just like me they
    cloned.My children I will raise amongst a
    generation new.Where a pure breed is non-
    existent & having both parents is rare and
    few.I know not what the ending or the status
    of the outcome.All I know is where we're go-
    ing is the place that I am from.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
