The Difference


The black man cries

No ones dares

The white man cries

Everyone cares

Why must the black man ace the penalty

For the white man to be set free

Police brutality

The black man can not see

The white man is let be

The nation is happy

The colour of skin is the colour of set freedom

The white man lies

We hear no end

Jesus came for all colours

Society wants to douse the others

The difference is not ignorance

The difference is history

The white man was the ruler

The black man

A slave
