(Song title taken from Jane Monheit’s catalogue, by Dietz and Schwartz) As they lay in bed, Back to back, Asleep with folded arms, They wonder how it came to pass, That lovers embrace changed to isolated solace, How it ever became a reality to miss the heart, The hearts that used to beat together, In tune to the dance they danced at night, When the lights were down, And the only sound heard in town, Was of blissful love making, Against the sky; bleak, black and stark, As they were dancing in the dark.

Racism a really bad thing, everyone should feel the same Being a black man is this culture is insane, Why throw dirt on his name? It’s not like he was looking for fame He did a service, Mayella reversed it Interracial relationships are against the code Unfortunately, we know this, yet this is how things seem to go No longer a secret, Tom ***** Yet no one can keep the story straight To **** A Mockingbird, the book was great Told from first person, Scout’s point of view Everything is not new, retelling the story Scouting it out, it’s not gory Paying attention to details in the story TKAM Journals, a different story, Mrs. Dietz Got us all working on an allegory Racism a really bad thing, everyone should feel the same Being a black man is this culture is insane, Why throw dirt on his name?
