Old and New

               

                    Back in the day confrontations and hostilities
                         were mainly done between blacks and whites.
                    Man's inhumanity to man were epics that made
                         the world scream and holler.
                    The essence of life has now changed and although
                         racial crimes are still in sight
                    The focus of man's inhumanity and greed is the
                         almighty dollar,
                    Concentrating on the haves and have nots.


                    The reality of life has now moved from the pigment
                          of your skin to the color green
                    And the distance between those that have and those
                          who don't grow every single day.
                    When racial conflict was here, blacks and some 
                          others had to fight to develop and keep their
                          self esteem,
                    But the battle of the dollar affect us in such a brutal
                          and radical way,
                    That survival may just be a fantasy for half of
                          mankind.


                    In my mind racial madness and condemnation is
                          high on the list  of things needing reconstruction
                    Of threatening diseases that will bring the world
                          to it's knees
                    The rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer
                          is also on the list of self destruction
                    And once again I delve into my world of fantasy
                    And see the world heading in a positive direction
                    So that my grandson,DAMERE, may survive.
