You hope their stories will be truthful and noble
Not the kind that leave questions in your mind
Not the kind you can discuss or the belt comes out
You have to know your place
My home and I do as I **** please was there way it was
Your story about Martin Luther King was read at school
In the Auditorium,quite special for a fifth grader
Until you read it at home  your were told they lied to you
Don’t listen to them
You don’t have to take History classes filled with lies
We will see to that not your problem
The story was written after Dr.King was assassinated
What you learn in school and at home are very different
You have to be carefully taught as an old song says
One arm does not know what the other is doing
Storytelling needs to be on board and above board
More so today than yesterday
The crumpled school certificate was crumpled and discarded as she ran to her room in tears
She remembers after all these
Years
