"I Wonder Sometimes"
As time passes by, I wonder sometimes, what are those lullabies ?
Burning people singing and dead silent people hanging.
I wander sometimes, next to those singers covered in flies,
Why those monsters, killers who are ganging,
Decided that they did no want them,
They did not want gems.
I wonder, sometimes, what will happen when all will be white,
It would not have been the blacks, it would have been the jews,
and even then, nothing could stop their abuse.
Because when all will be white, all will be “right”,
They will turn to themselves, and eat each other like dogs,
Blinding themselves in the ignorance that is their fog.
Because it is not the race or any religion,
It is the intricate human nature that is our damnation.

Going outside for a walk with my kids,
The eyes staring at us,
It’s like we’re a disease
But they don’t care about us.
“They’re useless” they said,
But we work more than them
And sometimes we’re almost dead,
They’re maybe cruel, or just dumb.
Every night I dream
About living in a world
Where we don’t care about the color of your skin,
But it will not happen, it’s just a dreamworld.
