A black man

--BlossomMonyei--
Raised in the harshest sun
It hurts in his bone
This life he asked from no one
Planted amongst those with hearts of stone. 

A black man
Clueless, clumsy
His life's navigation was turned off
The don't care about him.

His mistakes 
He can't erase
He'll move on somehow
Though he withers.

A black man
Meets friends
They did him wrong
They did it again.

"Is the world against me?"
"Why?"??
