If they gunned me down

Photo from Internet images. 

If they gunned me down,

ripping through my head,

would they leave me there

for dead, afraid my years would

would snatch them up?

Is walking in these old white bones

crime enough?

Everybody knows how they are.

I'm not prejudiced, but...

old white women, capped

and dyed and tucked!

You can't disguise deceit.

They're Dangerous, not Us.

Would they let me bleed,

if they gunned me down

because I'm white and old?

Would I lie there dead and cold,

and would they ever see

a human heart shot through?

If they gunned me down

If they gunned me down,

you?

I saw this quote on Unvirtuous Abbey: "For those who say, 'I'm not prejudiced but...,' Let us pray!"
