So much depends
upon

A two digit
number

Stamped with prejudice
black

It grades your
worth

The author's comments:
The first two lines i took from the poem 'the red wheelbarrow' by William Carlos Williams. I added my own twist to it and made it about ACT scores. I tried to show the unnecessary importance of it, and how it judges your worth. There are a lot more valuable assets to a person than just their test taking abilities.
