ISSUE #2

Black

We live in a world

where freedom is rare

both for the young and the old.

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mb7zAjpb8

I'm black as the night

so I put up no fight

when the whites come and rule our lives.

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKxQKvD5iG

I see them young ones

runnin' round and having fun

because they don't truly understand.

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTZn4sf787

They just know they're different

from those other misfits

who run around and show their white skin.

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYh6IJoiYe

In the parks and bus stops

restrooms, returaunts

waterfountains, all the world

is spread so far apart.

876Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPfV0ARzF7

All this over the color of our skin,

because it's so black and different

we live in a world

where freedom is rare

when the whites come and rule our lives.
