Caught in the Middle of Something

[Jassy Melson]

Although some say we began in Asia,
we all came from Africa in the beginning.
Some of us moved north and some moved east;
some of our skin lightened, some stayed dark.
With division came conflict,
conflict that will never end unless
we all come back together again,
which is impossible.
So the conflict will continue until
God knows when.
The beginning ended so long ago.
Now we are caught in the middle of something
of which we have no idea where to go,
no clue of what is happening;
we are trapped and cannot escape.
What will be the end
is beyond our comprehension.
All we can do is weep
and try to laugh.

I liked the line "The beginning ended so long ago."
