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?
