No Longer Ignored
By Gary Greene
The wounds of the body soon scar
The wounds of the mind stay raw
Lashes of long-ago will not show
No longer ignored in this year
Still cut deep by the soul that saw
Wrongs of the past and even now
Change so painfully slow
How can we ask them to wait?

“I have been struggling with the resistance to critical race theory. Why are there people so afraid of the truth. There are a lot of dark things about our past and it is now stunning to me how what most of us were taught in school glossed over it.”
