something

                                          It was good

( goodness was ! )

The first thing I remember was I was about 7 or 8

And we went to down town Philadelphia  and there 1000's
Of black people there and they looked poor and unhealthy

And very unhappy and that I got very angry that this was so

And that it meant everything I was being taught in school
And all of AMERICA and American history

Was nothing but a ******* lie                  

••

And I left home ( in my heart )

And wandered ( in my imagination)

DOWN THE ROAD

//

And I still am the same

And the roads are still empty

And I still wonder where you are
