Wake Up Call
White, White, the world is White According to every WB
night White is the world – Shiny and bright.
Black, Black, the world
is Black According to the BET show-pack Black is the world – Other colors
lack.
How long will this mockery last? It seems instead of forward,
we're heading for the past A world of segregation, as unreal as can be TV
representation that looks nothing like you and me
Where is the colorful
blend we pride ourselves in? Where are the Indians, Chinese, Arabs? When
will reality begin?
Is everybody sleeping, ignorant, or
afraid? Shouldn't we catch up with the rest of the world Before it is too
late?
