Run Black Man                   3-13-85

Run, black man, run to find your

past

you denied your beginning just long

enough for it to pass

now you are lost, running with no

hope of love

with no one to teach you of the things

we had to fight

you denied your mother, and your father

was never known

you are a grown child, and now your mother

is gone

I see your tears, but there is no emotion in

my eyes

Throughout your life you hid your

beginning with lies

Now you are alone and no one can help you,

nothing can bring you back

because you were born yellow and forgot

your ancestors were born black
