Reaping What You Sow

Look.
I'm not saying your wrong
What I am sayin to your face is 
YOU ARE NOT RIGHT
you're an educated racist
our children cannot inherit that
and you're angry with me now
I embarressed you
when you love our daughter
she is beautiful and latino
and suddenly, you're not true?
She is different?
You know I find it unbearable
how you emphatically stated
we should run all latinos out
you're racist comments
your very sin, not mine
but what you teached
I never agreed with 
these kids, they respect you
But my sweet, intelligent, darlin man
you are a damn fool
