"Feelings Of Mutual Beings"
My hair is thick and somewhat tar
forever to be black and proud
We are not the same kind of anything
but we both have the same smile
My nose is round and yours is thin
I ache for a treasure and pray when sin
You have acres but no rhythym
you can shoot but be no victim
Leave it to me I can play that role
hands up, unarmed I'm feeling cold
But yet we are the same being but different traits
It's you that we envy, It's you that we hate
Even tho you're lighter than my skin exact
it doesn't give you reason to act in such action that determines the power of us two
Lord oh God help us now cuz we all need it
I still claim us kin but you won't receive it
A lot of us are whipped but no longer I
they say that men aren't suppose to tear up, so ima let this poem cry
