Foreign Perception of America

by Scottie

Grab your pitchforks run him outta town, only because his skin is brown. If he knocks on the door don't let him in, only because he lacks white skin. Punch his face with a bang and a whack only because his skin is black. Pull out your gun shoot him in the head, only because he grows his dreads. Lock him in jail for nothing bad, call him a loser and a deadbeat dad. If you don't think you've gone too far, you're wrong, your soul's as black as coal tar.
