How Do We Reconcile
How do we reconcile? (From my pen -27/06/2013)
White was the color to declare the peace
Supposed to leave us with life without crease
It's no longer fashionable, and pure
We depend on black to bring the cure
Whatever the right medicine
It offers no cure for this discipline ,
Now there is a new fashion and road
We now do things on the b e e code
Right is just right with a slight twist
We now move on to an all new list
Does not matter if you know your work
I am black , is that a quirk?
I'm just a person who strive for better
Does not matter that you work to the letter
The dice fell, it lies in my favor
This is my turn my lily white neighbor
I don't want you here, I wish you would go
I will do better for sure , I know
Ignoring the law, does not matter
Everything you had , I'll certainly scatter
You oppressed my mother and my father
Instead of befriending us much much rather
You instruct us to stand to one side
Only whites were welcome to go inside
If this country goes down then let it be known
The grave you dug was actually you own
Chances went by, to level the plain
You don't understand my inner pain.
You think in my heart is pure hate
even if it is, will not change my state
But let me tell you and not hesitate
I'm working on my dream, lest it's too late
So tell me Mr. Farmer, let me know
What is your part in the new solution
Are you planning to serve another blow
Or instead prepared to further our constitution?
