Racism
I am what I am and your not.
It was said by someone
that once she lets me inside
back to you she won’t ever come.
When they say
what I lack in intelligence I make up in size.
When they say,
what I lack in education I make up in speed.
Mr.Hampton is closed
my mind he made up so long ago.
Across the mirrored lake
rowing twords me is a woman in a covered boat
she goes to Yale.
Don’t call the police on me.
I don’t have an alibi.
It must of been done by that other someone
it couldn’t of been done by me.
Every thirty one days all rabbits can,
then their on the run.
I don’t like what you are I am not.
A monkey can see what you never could feel.
