The Glow Up of a Marginalized Mind
Prepubescent face,
With eyes judging the world.
It becomes clear to him a life in which hate
relates to the minds of many.
A glow up from “When will we get there?” to
“When will political leaders own up to their
mistakes and change for the better?”
It is the glow up of a Marginalized Mind,
it is seeing 16 year old Carlos Gregorio
Hernandez Vasquez die under border customs,
during which real Americans turn a cold shoulder.
Confused by the intricacies of equality,
he grows.
He grows and glows to shout and alarm until his
fight is over and
his right is heard.
