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.
