The Negro in the Room

The negro in the room

I am that negro in the room

We are that negro in the room

Home grown furniture 

Ottomans and China cabinets

Colored credenzas

Polished and polite

The negro was in the room when you signed the Constitution

The negro was in the room when you carved up the world for thanksgiving

The negro was in the room when bosses dropped the bomb

While eating a continental breakfast of coffee and commies

The negro was in the room when Martin marched and Malcom was martyred

The negro was in the room when dogs bit blacks for defiant acts

They even said I was a "good negro"

Serving Scotch and Soda high balls while discussing the Negro problem

The negro was in the room when Ronald Reagan said "its morning time in America" 

It was midnight in the ghetto

The negro was in the room

With a painted on smile

And a thousand yard stare

Yes sir

No sir

Thank you sir

The negro in the room...
