If You'Re Not Part of the Solution You'Re Part of the Problem
Girl child born post WWII,
always an uphill battle
killed a Barbie doll or 2!
Tried to show them I was as good as a BOY!
Stars and Stripes in their eyes
Worked for peace but war brought what they prized?
For war you need boy toys.
Civil rights YES, you bet, all God’s children should be free.
Worked all my life to help others,
hopefully it also helped me.
*If You’re Not Part of the Solution You’re Part of the Problem”
Eldridge Cleaver /Soul on Ice
