Life Of A Black Man (Part 2)

 They say if you want to hide anything from a black man, put it in between the pages of a book. Well even I take that offensive because sometimes I open the dictionary and take a look.

Does that mean that I'm white because I know how to read. Or are they scared that I'm teaching myself to be articulate and that one dday I'll soon be free, from the chains that are binding me.

But I'm speaking for all the people who are still in slavery, waiting for someone to stand up for themselves and take the lead. To get out the struggle and be dismissed from poverty.

Never let the drugs take over me, Never be forced to listen to them, and understand thier lies I dont have to believe. 

I'm just a young man living in society,Obeying orders giving from the Monarchary.

Trying to come up with a understanding of a new Anthropology, not having to base it on old studies of Archaceology . 

But they throw me in jail cause I rather be civil disobediance. 

Man...this is sad, just the life of a black man.
