Just Look At Me!

Look at me!
I know you see me--
wishing I was invisible...

Your guilt cannot hide...
no matter how many facades
present themselves...

Shadowed bigotry
back of cloudy colors
of political menageries
is akin to hiding behind
clear glass... 

Look at me!
I know you see me--
wishing I was invisible...

Like the Underground Railroad,
the invisible me is no more;
but visibly alive above ground--
riding revolutionary rails of freedom...

As you wait at the station's wall,
know that I'm coming...
my vivid colors flooding
your visibility with truth's reality...

Look at me!
I know you see me--
wishing I was invisible...

While our eyes
have always watched God,
The All Seeing Eye
forever watches you...

Indeed...to err is human...
to forgive is divine...
remembering never to forget
remains a truth, sublime...

Look at me!
I am still here
seeking to always be
physically and mentally free...

I am your inherited albatross;
that malignancy 
you thought you had surly lost:
Just look at me!
