what you cannot say
is that there is still
a race problem in the country
that say
a dark skinned Saudi man
was sought for the injure
of a fragile country’s rebounding psyche
that no one would blame you
for beating up a frightened Pakistani boy
because all those Arabs look alike
like niggers
and the spics
and even if he didn't do this
one day
he’ll probably become a terrorist
what with him being a Muslim and all
and that’s not at the same
as religious intolerance
it’s just that the Christians have never killed people
not in the name of God
and you cannot say
when it turns out not be
a dark skinned Saudi man
that it wasn't a comfort to realize
he was in fact a foreigner
which is not the same at all
as being xenophobic
it is only making sure that people remain fair
you cannot go blaming a group of people
for the actions of two unstable men
what kind of world with this be
if we judged a person by the color of his skin
because that is racist
and we don’t put up with that sort of thing
not here
