Poem
White old men are kind White old men are divine White old men are my brothers White old men are inviting me to supper White old men are my dream White old men are very clean White old men want to kiss my lips White old men want me to suck their dicks White old men said that my bed is empty White old men said that I am hot and ready White old men said that they are horny White old men said that their wife is corny White old men said that I make them come alive White old men said that they have the vibes White old men said that they have a lot of stamina White old men said that I must join them for supper White old men said that they will move me along White old men said that they know where I stand White old man desires me White old men said that they can set me free Here I am standing the test of time Here I am trying to fulfill what is mine I could not understand why some things happen And the distance that I have to travel I have been working hard form day to day Hoping that something good would come my way But here I am today with some old men standing in my way Hard face are staring at me through the window Grey beards and untidy moustache Stained tobacco teeth staring at me through the looking glass White old men bellowing at me through the open door White old men pressuring me to give them more White old men dressed in grey suits Gather around the destruction table getting ready to shoot They are betting on the next horse in the concourse White old men are calling me White old men want to dance with me I still cannot get over this heavy feeling The white old men still have me reeling I am still standing in the middle of it And I just cannot get over it Tears are streaming down my face And they tell me that I am big disgrace White old men are speaking into my face My heart is growing and my spirit is burning Every time I come upon the same situation And confronts the exact agitation Village of old white men surround me Mapping out my imminent destiny They hang out in bars and corridors They meet in clubs and private den And flatter themselves with gin and tonic, They frown at me with a naked grin They make fun about me And gossip about my incompetency I have worked with them for thirty years I have studied their ways and I know their years I know their plans and this is the reason why we can get along White old men are the life of the party If you don’t drink with them you have no destiny Every time they make a pitch I have to hold up my dish I have to honor their mandate Or I will not have a date and they will push me through the gate They make the decisions even when they are wrong Their mandate is flying high in the sky And sometimes they make me want to cry White old men want to get rid of me White old men do not like me I have broken the white old men’s rule And they tell me that I made them look like a fool Their greed is bouncing in the sky And their friends and neighbors are shouting The only way I could survive the late night party Was to follow their mandate to make them happy They made me drove out the immigrant before it was too late Some of the things that they made me do were not fun But I did it because I wanted to get my breakthrough I forced myself to do some of the things to appease old white men’s sins I sat at their dinner table and watch them eating meat While they pull and drag women under their feet They do not like women in power Unless they can run naked in the wheat field and scream I am no stranger to this type of treatment I have experience it everyday But in a solitary and peculiar way White old men prey upon vulnerable women While they are holding their guns and the bible Old white men faces are cute Old white men are getting ready to shoot From the conception of time Everyone say that life is divine Old white men have bear faces Old white men are still struggling with the races I have traveled around for a long time And I have seen a lot of faces White faces Black faces Blue faces Red faces Green faces Brown faces Yellow faces Round faces Straight faces Happy faces, Painful face Angry faces Faces tied up in anguish and desperation Faces that span way back in time And face that says you are mine How much more do we have to remember? A group of old whites men waiting for supper They play the card game and bet on race horses They dine in common places They seduce young girls and struggle with older women Old white men owns the biggest clubs Old white men hang out in night clubs Old white men are rich tycoon You must meet old white men at noon Old white men are the talk of the day But the time has come when old white men Will no longer stand in your way Old white men are going away.
