Dance To Your Own Music

Do you try to lip sync, and dance like someone you're not?
Do you try to speak the dialect with accents, of somebody hot?
Is your satisfaction short lived, or probably not?
Are you protesting the ignorance of your own race,
but hanging out with one different with a pretty face?
If so, keep this in mind.
Until the log is removed from the back of your eye,
You will continue to see twigs,
and wonder why inside you cry.
Time to change the offices and doctors, who treat your vision,
To see clearly again takes a different mission.
To love your brothers and sisters again in this life,
you need to see clearly, or it will lead to strife.
Surgery needs to be done to remove an in place log,
Only then will you see clearly thru the haze and the fog.
