Racism & the Built Environment
Racism causing insomnia
Surrounded by fake people
Networking with the alleged like-minded
Yet divided by money
New vision turned a blind eye
To indigenous cultures and history
Gushing about beautifying the environment
Because no one supposedly lives there
Without seeing the existing community
Seeing a people isn’t the same
As engaging with a people
Apologies just won’t do
Restorative justice will
Both the so-called good neighborhoods
And the so-called bad neighborhoods
Were built on a foundation of racism
The 1920s roared with planned segregation
Nowadays it’s no longer segregation
It’s urban renewal
The only thing that’s new
Is the branding

The Mailman Cometh
Curiosity doesn’t always kill the cat
It’s usually where the adventure begins
One step at a time
14 miles a day
For several years in a row
So, batter’s up!
Knock it out of the ballpark
Anything can be a playing field
When you’re a child
Especially playing with kid rules
Just don’t get distracted by the blackberries
The barefooted boy playing outside every summer
Grew into the man paid to be outside all year long
