Old and White

Post by bags123 » Sat Nov 01, 2008 8:33 am

Old, and White



It's rarely said, but often true
What people think,.. the people do.
Their liberties defined by rights
Controlled by someone old, and white.

For generations too far back
With histories too old to hack
Indignities designed their plight
Controlled by someone old, and white.

But now that they have persevered
With someone only slightly seared
He just may bring the darkness light
Controlled by someone old, and white.

I prefer to keep an open mind,....but not so much that my brains fall out.- Carl Sagan
