Mojaki

Hide now dear unborn
They are coming for you
They'll crucify you
And burn you at the stake...

Die now mojaki
An abomination carried into this world
You are not our kind,
I'll never be labelled a traitor to my kind.

You can never be black enough
Be accepted in my world,
In this world it's your kind against mine
Bringing you into this world is nothing but treason of the highest kind.

Mojaki your father is white
My family never accepted him
How do you expect them to accept you?
His family never wanted me
How can they ever love you?.

Mojaki, it's only love if it's two common people
Your is nothing more than just an obscene disgrace,
A bugbear of a curse.
You'll be the black sheep of the family.

Which ancestor will you pray to?
The one that killed my ancestors
Or the one who was a slave to yours?

Mojaki I'm eating this abortion pill
Not to kill you,
But to preserve our ways to preserve life itself
Mojaki, not all five fingers are equal
Yours is the lesser one.

Due to the rise in racially motivated abortions I thought of giving my take on the matter
