the people are smiling
when they see your smile
the people hear
your ringing lough
the people admire
that you are facile
in all you do for a living

and every night
I dream
of your tears

одиннадцать

white people beat black people hard
they set black people to work
they treat black people like dirt
white people are wicked bad

black people hunt down black people
and sell them to white people

двенадцать

your skin is cocoa
your hair is sooty
your eyes are night colored

you are so beautiful
that they marked you
all-white

тринадцать

all the day I bent
to the white cotton puffs

at night
they hadn't enchained me
like my parents before
and they even gave me the beans

I know the life of my children
will be none the worse

четырнадцать

he's got his white skin
his bright clothes
his rich house
he's got you
your lips palms belly
your smile

I've got only you
can't touch
can't forget

when I ask myself
who is more fortunate
I come in nowhere
