Duh Darkness an Duh Light


When Ah wuz young Ah thoughts dat dey world wuz perfect. Ah thoughts dat everbudy luved everbudy. An dat duh peoples wuz all happy. But duh world ain’t perfect, An not everbudy luv everbudy. Duh peoples ain’t all happy. Dere’s discrimination. Slavery may be out uh duh public, But it lives in duh hearts. Lak uh hideous, hidin’ fox. Slavery ain’t a whip in hand anymo’ Umph, umph, umph! It’s in duh hearts uh duh man. Befo’, duh world was light and unhidden. Everbudy and everting out in duh open. Now, duh darkness uh duh world hides duh sins uh duh man.
