I weep for my country, struggling to understand.
What is my crime?
Is my voice…
A little too loud | A little too soft | A little too twangy | A little too brash
I weep for my country, struggling to understand.
What is my crime?
Is my hair…
A little too straight | A little too curly | A little too red | A little too black
I weep for my country, struggling to understand.
What is my crime?
Are my eyes…
A little too black | A little too blue | A little too brown | A little too green
I weep for my country, struggling to understand.
What is my crime?
Are my clothes…
A little too fancy | A little too dirty | A little too worn | A little too tight
I weep for my country, struggling to understand.
What is my crime?
Do I…
Have the wrong job | Believe in the wrong God | Go to the wrong school | Come from the wrong side of town
I weep for my country, struggling to understand.
What is my crime?
Am I…
Too black | Too white | Too skinny | Too fat
I weep for my country, struggling to understand.
What crime did I commit that caused you to hate me?
Nice work in a sad and sobering context Addison.
Thanks for it.
Cheers,
Frank
