Cries Falling on Deaf Ears

My world was torn into shambles, you see A shattered version of what once was me Why is my life Hell? It used to be fine Because of a shade of skin that was mine The white men are merciless to my kind Their hate and power put me in a bind Miss Jones was arrested; Mister Jones too If they were white, they would have grounds to sue This isn’t fair; when will all of this change? This must end now, or our deaths they’ll arrange *DISCLAIMER* I am not African-American. I am simply telling this story from the point of view of one.
