Uncomfortable journey
through bias and prejudice
Facing inner pain and hurt
Caused by US and others
Delving deep into our feelings
of people, culture, and religions far and near
opening our hearts and mind
in order to elicit change
Powerful journey
with our colleagues, now friends
uncovering our true selves
without fear or shame
Others are on this journey
through education courses we go
So we can impact future generations
and those near us as well
The journey has uncovered bias
we didn't know was there
but from one level to another
continuing we must go.
