Will Whites Commit Race Suicide?

White Plight

Much today is spoken
of the White Man and his flight
from places he alone once tamed
and brought into the light.

But little is yet spoken
of a vision much less known
of cruelty, hate, and genocide
reserved for White alone.

The rationale is plain and simple
those with genocidal hearts will say
White is the oppressor color
regardless of who rules the day.

By declaring White Man thus
the eternal evil ones,
atrocities easily find excuse;
his humanity undone.

Escape seems not possible
from hatred so arrayed
dismissed, denounced, discarded, dethroned
nowhere can White stay.

In his land and neighborhoods
built with ancestral hands
Darkness comes on a million feet
all across the land.

In his house no peace comes
as the jungle calls his young
television, teachers, music, and malls
his fortune he counts in crumbs.

At work where ability rules
for him it never reigns
handouts given to other's kin
his whiteness but a stain.

In government where law does rule
White finds comfort not at all
those who hate him have full sway
and seek his utter fall.

In church, surely, the house of God
peace shall come at last
to find the comfort of the Lord
whose love is beyond skin cast.

Yet church, least of all, brings peace
as White is often told
it's in his whiteness the problem lies
he must embrace the fold.

Does this embracing mean as brothers
in God's spiritual family tree?
"No," he's told, "It's not enough."
To be Christ's he must interbreed.

There is no peace when clad in White
No place to call his own
The U.S., Europe - all but gone
ethnically overgrown.

The Black gets to be a black
The Mexican's just as free
But no matter what the setting is
The White may not white be.

The Lord made earth a tapestry
each kind unto its own
He brings the races to Him ultimately
to stand before the throne.

You see it's not that we deny
our brother's humanity
but if they can revel in their kind
why can't we be just as free?

Lawrence, 2005
