I’m trying so hard to see through this White reality Trying to find out who Wrote our history I’m wondering who’s adding the Addictive quality To my coffee Trying to unveil The truth they hide from me An Ebony Queen walks up to me And says so precise and beautifully To find the truth You must follow me I promise nothing else But to set you free And leave before you The world to see There is but one and only key To accept in life All diversity Have faith in God Not democracy Voice is the killer Of secrecy And if you wish To honor me Then speak the word That man shall be One day united And TOTALLY free From all the evils that separate me From the world where We all should be Peace, Truth, Diversity, and Unity Now You See! (Though it's not usually important, I think it must be said here, since it changes the definition of the poem, that I am white)
