a segregated gardenA Poem by jacob erin-cilbertoInspired by Rico X's poem "2 steps forward, 3 steps back"a segregated garden the dark roots blocked before the surface sinewy flowers not for everyone stay in your own garden they surmise don't mix don't grow with others mind the fences mind the rows pick the weeds only on one side let the others choke and rot oh, you are a sot a cistern white in glow not to let all the flowers grow one garden, one mind one inclination towards the same sun and the rain does not discriminate we all get the same tears from God. erin-cilberto 2/4/2021
