If racism was taught to you.
I swear you dropped out of school.
The colour of your face means nothing,
but today I want those of your hue.
I know black lives matter,
but I’m prepared to die
for you.
Just give me a chance to express
myself.
before I pull out my race card.
let my racing heart
make an impression.
I know your ancestors
stole my wealth,
so in return,
let me break into your heart too.
inherit the remnants
and give me your hand
and yours shall be mine.
for I was told
you were afraid
of your grandfathers gun.
Therefore, I see no racism
in your smile.
