White Lie

Same womb            
             
Different daddies              
             
Different skin colors              
             
A mother who loved one more than the others  
        
White was believed  
    
White was good hair              
             
Black took belts white couldn't bare              
             
Black stood strong               
             
Developed a backbone              
             
Had to protect the white younger one              
             
White's womb birthed a healthy black son              
             
Void of two fathers minus the real one              
               
Four months of,  "Does he go or does he stay?"               
Left black boy the family's first give away
        
White became envious of strength dressed in black              
             
Forgot that same strength had her damn back              
hours, days,  weeks, years               
             
Followed by lies in the adopted's ears               
           
After 18 birthdays, let the truth be told!              
             
White wanted the glitz and a man dipped in gold               
No chair to rock, no baby to hold              
             
Only black to mock and homeless stories told
 
Coming to the scene once the baby's a man
 
The hard part is over!
 
Now let's begin!        
              
White keeps one in the chamber in case the past starts              
             
Can't dare reliving  truths from her own absent heart              
             
Strong backs to break with lies of no home              
             
Gotta make sure strong-black stands alone              
             
Had to take what's left and develop a mess              
             
Can't admit now what she won't confess              
       
Bonds destroyed that nature intended              
             
Because white was weak and became offended              
Passing herself off as a saviour of black men
 
No where around when her son's life began              
             
Character assassination at the one who stood strong              
             
Can't have her in the room with the son I disowned              
           
Now lies stand tall with many social followers              
             
Tales made bite-sized for future gens to swallow              
All hail the white one!              
             
Painted up in MAC              
             
With her hand-me-down gifts dragged from a weak back              
             
All hail the white one!              
             
With a lost black history              
             
Sent her youngest to military school to learn life's mysteries                  
             
Yearning for respect she never carried within
 
Forever telling lies that always defend               
             
No respect here for the strategy used              
             
I can only grin and bare another scar fused              
             
With love, nephew              
You were wanted and missed dearly
