Page 96 - Poems by Alyson Malach - Childhood to Adulthood

For only laundry should be separated,

In human hearts, let love be elevated.
Together, we can stand, united, elated,

A nation whole, not fractured, but integrated.

To those who bear this trauma’s heavy toll,

Check in, reach out, let empathy take hold.
A listening ear, a heart that’s warm and bold,

Can weave the threads of unity, uncontrolled.

Black and white laundry’s the only time to part,

Humanity's colours should share one heart.
Let’s stop dividing by skin, but instead be smart

Heal our land with love, a brand new start.
