Friendship cannot be forced. It should just happen naturally. In a way you helped me understand myself better. I was always too scared to just sit down one day and examine all my feelings to know what they really meant, until I read your poems. You express your hatred for prejudiced people and racist societies so well.
Racism is the worst form of hatred.
It was sweet how you wrote a poem for Mrs. Hawkins after her soon, Yusef, lost his life to a racist society. No one deserves to die because of ignorance. It is sad that you knew you would die before your time because you could already feel the shadow's depth. I hope I do not relate to that poem of yours anytime soon because I also want to accomplish a lot before I reach my death. Thank you for understanding and writing poems deep enough to convince me never to give up on my life.
