I know there are a lot of white politicians
But DC to me is primarily a black city
I'm riding on the Metro
Wizards vs. Cavaliers

Saw Springsteen in Oakland
McCartney in Baltimore
Missed BB King in Sonoma
Regretted that one for years

Cambodia was shocking
Many people missing limbs
Seething with religion and prostitution
The wars: Oceans of Tears.

I'm intrigued by Malcolm X
A life of reinvention
In my solitude
Try to confront my fears

            The end nears
