Producing the mid-21st century America

From the world over, blood is mixed

Stories of myths & ethos of the 20th century fade

Though repeated by fossils & frauds

The epic tales of racism over time

Lose relevance in an age of opportunity

Business & profits await entrepreneurs -

Access world-wide markets with the internet

Education there for the taking

Stay clean & sober

Live free from debt & dishonor

All there in a land of liberty

Fending off threats

Maintaining a civil society

Justice meted out equally -

Try to identify the "race"

Of the streams of people walking by

In S.F. or L.A. -

You won't get the genealogy easily

It is the world race evolving -

Right in front of our eyes -

Another 40 years and those of us left

Will be nearly blind to "race"

As the ancient concept of the last century

Our visions must adapt -

The coming social changes

Will center around technological intrusion

Into the normal flow of consciousness

For the average citizen

As they navigate the work opportunities

And try to raise children.
