Block This, Block That

Block this, block that Black this, black that I am sick and tired Of seeing the hatred And the obvious prejudices Destroying countries, counties Districts and municipalities Where biased authorities And utterly corrupt and ornery judges Rule like lions in the wild jungles. Black this, black that Block this, block that Where nobody wins And everybody loses From venomous doses Of ignorance and intolerance We are all fraternal twins With different level of shade and nuance Oh! Nobody is perfect And I am daringly correct Like the angel snoring on the deck. I have never seen a black country I have never lived in a black county Unfortunately nonsense prevails And common sense is assailed Oh! I will spare you the details So you won’t faint, fade, fall and fail As you lurk, search, muse and chase your tail Black this, black that Block this, block that.
