Have You Been Oppressed?

At the basket ball teamBecause you were short,Or were you told you were slimFor a dancing lot.

Maybe you were denied a roomBecause you were black,Or told to broomOr get some whack.

Does your boss exclude you from raiseAnd force you to do some overtime work,You show talent – but you are asked to show a pretty faceOr maybe do some twerk.

Don’t touch thisDon’t eat that,You are born to missDo nothing aside being sat.

You are less than otherEven if you are a mother,Shut up and don’t rebelOr you will be oppressed till your cell.

But trust me, you are amazing. Believe and keep pushing forward with the card you have been dealt with.
