Protection But Provocation

Protection but provocation
Is unfair this attitude 
This provocative protection 
I wonder if is written on the forehead
That dark skin colours
Could steal you any time 
You come across them 

Is unfair this attitude 
Hiding your wallet 
Holding your pockets
Shifting afar
Just because you saw a dark person
Close to you 
Wonder if is written thief 
On our forehead
As same I wonder
Who thought you so

Is unfair this attitude 
I see out of Africa 
In the street bus trams
Shopping morns
This attitude is so not normal
What make dark people 
Thieves 
Must every dark soul you 
Come across steal from you
How is it possible this acts
Of yours 
So provocative 

Is unfair this attitude 
Anyone can steal anyone
And kindness is better 
Than perceive instants judgement
Protect yourself yes
But when necessary 
From an experience 
I pen this write 
Just to let know is so 
Unfair this attitude of
Protection but provocation
