We would do well to meet our shadow br The side we give so little publicity, br The side from which the media run like dogs br Yet revel in like wolves tearing at a carcass. br br We would do well to own our darkness br A Black, An Indian, A Jew, A Criminal, A King, A Messiah br For others to use to focus as targets for our rage br If we could only meet our darkness and have help to embrace it br There might be basis for hope of something br That was once called progress.
