The Jungle of Other
I am the white minority
Envious eyes have me espied,
falsely believing my presumed power
in this jungle of other
I am excluded from the whole
Blind bright-white disjunction
forcing the foil in fatigued faces
in this jungle of other
I am my own worst enemy
Quietly, could I conform
and ready for racial ridicule
in this jungle of other
I am the irrationally feared
Subtly stripped of superficial stature
weak, alone, watched and weary
in this jungle of other
