Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Apartheid

"Apartheid" is a term derived

From Africaans language to mean

"Apartness" where some are deprived

Of basic human rights, first seen

In South Africa where blacks were

Segregated by whites so that

Discrimination did occur.

"Legal," and so hard to combat.

All nations, even the U.S.

Have had or have guilt in some way.

The native Americans, yes,

Apartness is still on display.

Hope is humans will be evolved,

And Apartheid wrongs will be solved.
