Doors
everywhere we go
doors are behind us
some loom ahead
as though we must possess
some magical key
to gain entry
–
there are doors that
we must labor to gain entry
but our toil will be rewarded
some doors left ajar
anyone can access
you are welcome here
–
other doors remain sealed
regardless of our
sacrifice – slammed
in our faces, without a trial
publicly shamed for
our endeavors
–
impenetrable is the threshold
of the closed mind
entombed by ignorance, hatred,
control of what
they cannot comprehend
that which frightens – doorkeepers
–
doorkeepers who prey
on the doors of those
they chose to marginalize,
disenfranchise, condemn
robbing us of the power
of choice – self determination
… life
