Apartheid
 
Huddled at the bus stop-

the wind
tugging at your coat
wreaking havoc on your hair-

your face looked white and forlorn

I would have stopped
and offered you a ride

had I not been male and darkly brown.

Rinku


-- 
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people
somewhere, insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary
only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the
line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human
being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
---Alexander Solzhenitsyn (The Gulag Archipelago)
