All His Demands Are Foreign

The way Mark does his Campaign, The way he drinks his champagne, Manner of smiling at Pain And what he says after Gain: Nothing Black: all through ''White''! Mark's smacked lips he would leave tight... In Mark's Black life the Whites reign, All his voiced demands foreign: The movies he wished he'd seen, The countries he dreamt he'd been: In Mark's world "no worthy being"; The Black Girls he'd been seeing... In Mark's life Black and White fight And he reasons "White is right" Black not as bright,neither light; White arrives and it's Black's flight! A boss of their Black Union And White stuffs his arms pinion.
