LIFE
Life is a road with unexpected turns
Sometimes it's good, but many times it burns
We try to make the best of what we get
But sometimes it's hard, so we try to forget
We think our problems will go away
But they'll be back another day
Many times they will break your heart
It feels like everything has fallen apart
There are many bumps in this road of life
Many of which, cause hardship and strife
On this road, if you're lost and alone
Stick by your friends and they'll bring you home
POEM BY AN AFRICAN MAN
DEAR WHITE FELLOW,
COUPLE OF THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
WHEN I BORN, I BLACK
WHEN I GROW UP, I BLACK
WHEN I GO IN SUN, I BLACK
WHEN I COLD, I BLACK
WHEN I SCARED, I BLACK
WHEN I SICK, I BLACK
AND WHEN I DIE, I STILL BLACK
AND YOU WHITE FELLA,
WHEN YOU BORN, YOU PINK
WHEN YOU GROW UP, YOU WHITE
WHEN YOU GO IN SUN, YOU RED
WHEN YOU COLD, YOU BLUE
WHEN YOU SCARED, YOU YELLOW
WHEN YOU SICK, YOU GREEN
WHEN YOU DIE, YOU GRAY.
AND YOU CALLING ME COLORED??
