WONDERINGS

by

(For Dorothy Lykes)

A little boy, I used to wonder why

The sun and moon and stars glowed in the sky;

Why grass was green, and why the sky was blue;

Why cobwebs changed to diamonds in the dew.

The rainbow puzzled with its many hues,

As did the wild sea, shot with changing blues.

My wondering has not ceased: As I grow old,

I wonder why it is that some men hold

Their fellow human beings in such disdain,

Sowing the seeds of so much hate and pain.

I wish that they could know, and would believe,

To what extent they rape and agonize

My people's soul.... O Lord, won't they perceive

The sorrow that is living in our eyes?
