THE RACISM ONE-STEP

Do you dance the racism one-step?

It's a jig that some seem to learn -

Its steps go one-way...hip-hop-hep,

But somehow there's no room to turn.

 

I suppose it can seem quite appealing

To cavort to a one-step refrain, 

But stepping on toes without feeling

As you dance can only bring pain.

 

Give me the give and take two-step,

And the desire to dance to and fro,

Talking and listening and learning

Through life - by far the best dance to know.

Just got back from crazy, mixed up, multi -cultural London where a white guy gave me his seat on the tube and a black guy did similar at Victoria Station - you must be psychic!

(I must share this: They`d set up a boxing ring in Victoria Station for one-round bouts and I saw a young girl (yes girl!) give another girl a whopping great black eye...honest!)

Life is a dance alright!
