In Florence, SC, there is quite a place
Where Down’s children go to face their concern
Ray Turner had an idea to embrace
Give them a motive like earn while they learn
Ray had a business by name of Trayco
Furnished many repair parts to plumbers
The building, next door easy to get to
A school filled, taught no letters or numbers
They learned to pack repair parts in boxes
Success, each celebrated with a scream
Each level ranked by questions...responses
Graduation came with a check and ice cream
Down’s syndrome children a very sad thing
They learned to be proud and dignity sings

To all of the grandest of wizards of the ku klux klan
as well as to all of your members be they woman or man.
To all hate groups worldwide and through out America's great land.
Prepare for your own extinction. It will be delivered by your own hand.
With great risk of offending The Neanderthal,
you're all much like they were and like they you will fall.
Neanderthals didn't have the ability to learn any new knowledge.
If they were with us today, I doubt you'd see many in college.
You lack that same ability to open up your mind and learn.
Your ignorance has damned many of your children to death and/or prison,
never again to return.
Your convictions breed hatred, stupidity, ignorance and worse.
I truly understand. It's your hereditary curse.
You keep alive the concepts of hatred and racism
by passing this stupidity on to your innocent children,
but in time all of your children will one day leave your nest
and make some very brave decisions not in your best interest.
They'll learn that the concept of race is not only morally divisively strong,
it's a concept that has been scientifically proven wrong.
