⁠INTERTEXT
First they took the blacks
But I didn't care about that
I wasn't black
Then they took some workers
But I didn't care about that
I wasn't a worker either
Then they arrested the poor
But I didn't care about that
'Cause I'm not miserable
Then they grabbed some unemployed people
But how do I have my job?
I didn't care either
Now they're taking me
But it's already late.
Like I didn't care about anyone
Nobody cares about me
Today I care
The intertext
Clarifies what we don't do
But what do we support
Without knowing the pain
Of discrimination and destruction
that we caused
For days I talk about it in my texts or even
What I post and you didn't care!
The intertext comes from the inside out
Revealing the pain of what we regret, even without knowing if we offended.
And if we offend, we apologize
Even if we don't offend ourselves.
