THE GREEN LINE
The Greeks and the Turks
a blurry mess
the thin Green Line in Cypress
Just like
The British crown and the IRA
never see their islands the same way
Just like
... The question of Oswald or CIA conspiracy
who the hell knows but Kennedy
Just like
LAPD and Rodney King
Just like
All of us who go on hating
We all love
We all hate
We all bleed
And make mistakes
All I know is that I’ve had enough
of people killing
in the name of something they love
Ask Malcom X or ML King
They were cut down, fighting
They inspired us to be color blind
They encouraged us
To erasing the thin dividing lines
