Skin as black as charcoal Teeth as white as snow You glanced in my direction My smile was there to show You stumbled on some words You stopped and tried to share How were you to know That someone else would care Ignorance was abound you said In your present state of mind As tears flowed from your eyes How could I be so kind I was kinda taken back Not used to this reaction Asked if she was ok As she checked on her direction Off she went up the street As I contemplated my fate Wiping tears from her eyes The injustice I could relate ........
