On Watching Chasing Trane
The first time
The first time
The very first time
& God knows not the last time
I had a hard time to forgive my race was
The Birmingham Church bombing
That took the life of 4 young girls
I don’t think I have forgiven my race.
And the bodies keep piling up
In the name of a white man
In the name of a white God
In the name of a white dollar
