Systemically Ingrained
(systematic racism)
I come from a place
Where the language was harsh
Surely the thought police
Could simply tear me apart
I had a girlfriend for over 10 years
Every once in awhile
I’d call her by my ex-wife's name.. Ouch!
It not my fault
It was systemically ingrained!
She has always known my true heart
She's always laughed at my follies
Oh how the thought police
Must get their jollies’
We are the artist of our own dream
Painting over a well used canvas!
