Them and I

There are people shouting and yelling. There is a big percentage of people.

There are signs raised high.

There is a big majority of banners and posters.


I stand in the midst of it all.

I look in the fury and fiery.

I remember heritage, race, ethnicity, culture and history.


There is resemblance and remembrance standing so close.

There is pestilence and annoyance even closer.


I look at my brown, almond shaped eyes and keep them on the prize.

I look at my straight, black hair and my thinking fair.

I resemble those before me.

I remember those in front of me.


I think of all the epidemics and pandemics.

I think of the rolled eyes, looked over cries, crises as old as time.


I think, look, resemble, and remember them and I.
