Youth, protesters seated at the counter.
Simply seeking services from the waiter or waitress just to be denied.
Now let me see, this denial is centered around bigotry.

****, I thought business was about the green.
Money that is to pay your bills.
Provide for the family.

But to the bigots, it was about the skin tone.
Which was why many businesses soon were gone.
I still can't figure out the separate water fountain.

Same water from the same well.

Separate but equal simply stated words.
Except for one major color views.

They don't see the money.
They see hue.
