Confusing Musings

If I with my brown skin
Had sinned with powerful men
Would I be crazy
To have dreams of a First Lady

Could I be splashed naked 
Across *********** pages
Break up a happy home
And still be deemed worthy of throne

Would my sins be unique
And awards that win me
Peace and prosperity finest things
That too my parents get American dreams

Would I get a pass
Because I gave up some ***
And had a few laughs
Despite my less perfect past
Hmmm imagine that
