“Unveiling Shadows”
Title: “Unveiling Shadows”
In the golden land of California’s embrace,
A haunting truth lurks beneath its vibrant face.
Black souls, mere 5% of the populace they portray,
Yet bear the brunt of traffic stops, day by day.
The highway stretches, a road of discrimination,
As racial profiling casts its dark domination.
A pervasive pattern, an unjust perception,
Where burdens of bias shatter their connection.
The lights flash red, blue, blinding in their gaze,
As fear and hope clash in a precarious haze.
Injustice taints the air, fanning the flames,
While resilience blooms, struggling against the chains.
But in the midst of this unequal quest,
A call for unity echoes deep within each chest.
To challenge stereotypes, aim for equality’s span,
Together we rise, hand in hand.
Keywords: California, racial profiling, traffic stops, pervasive pattern, discrimination, unity.
