Dj Graham Poet Rhyme

If I Was White

If I was white,
would I be expected to be bright?

If I was white,
would my condition cause you to be contrite?

If I was white,
would my aggressiveness lead to a fight?

If I was white,
would my ceiling have a limited height?

If I was white,
would my dreams soar high as a kite?

If I was white,
would I have unlimited insight?

If I was white,
would I have the opportunity to innately see the light?

If I was white,
would you fear me at night?

If I was white,
would I be born with a negative plight?

If I was white,
would I have to be extra polite?

If I was white,
would I have to fear being killed by police on sight?

If I was white,
would that really make everything alright?
