Black Man

Black man black man how can we succeed;
No violence, no crime;
Work for what you need.
We are strong-minded educated, so get that degree;
Doctor, lawyer, look now we run the country,
So Black man black man all excuses out the door;
"White man bringing us down" dont live here anymore;
Put your mind at work;
Let the knowledge leak out of your pores;
So the next Black man dont depend on grassy turfs and hardwood floors.
With all to gain and no one to blame;
You can get ahead or even change the game;
This country would be lost without the Black Man.

now dig that, Wake up call!

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
