Letter To the Worls

Dear John,

This is my letter to the world that never wrote to me

What I'm telling you now is the truth

Not no lies

You can see it in my eyes.....

I am, I am

The darker brother from your mother

The darker brother from your mother that is telling you the story of Dr. Martin Luther KIng when he had a dream

I am the darker brother from your mother that is telling you the story of Barack Obama becoming the black dream

I am the darker brother from your mother that is telling you the history of the black people

I am the darker brother from your mother
