Traumatized, by life's indiscretions <br />Submerged in stereotypical <br />contradictions <br />caught up in the mix <br /> <br />Can you fix, what's not broke? <br />The token mentality of the man <br />disparity is his plan <br /> <br />A thousand faces and, no place <br />to call your own <br />You're trapped in a world <br />taught to hide and divide <br />victimized by a crime <br />you didn't commit <br />you ask the question <br /> <br />Will I ever be free <br />to just be me <br />And... <br />walk the streets <br />though unknown, be left alone? <br /> <br />Can i drive my car <br />no matter how far <br />And... <br />not get stopped <br />because, my skin color <br /> <br />Is not like the other? <br />Will they discover <br />the other side of prejudice <br />or just, continue to suffer <br />the consequences of circumstance? <br /> <br />Is there a chance to enhance <br />the mind of the man <br />And... <br />make him understand <br />that, not all brothers <br /> <br />are the same? <br />The game remains <br />But... <br />the players <br />do change<br /><br />MAXINE P.
