White Man's World

By Renokhan

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The angry black man screams "why?" The suburbanite man says "don't cry!" The shinny white lady knows today is great The disillusioned dark woman feels only hate How can they get together And attempt to weather This injustice of life And allow them to entice The level of freedom the white man feels Instead of the weight of a white man's heels?
