In shadows cast by judging eyes, A Black boy walks where danger lies. No sanctuary, no safe shore, From ghetto streets to suburban lore. A good kid with a heart sincere, Or one who strays...both live in fear. Accusations fall like rain, A whispered charge, a lasting stain. No matter where his footsteps tread, The world sees threat in hues of dread. Innocence lost to biased gleam, A life confined by others’ dream. Oh, how the soul yearns to be free, From chains unseen, from scrutiny. Yet still he rises, day by day, A quiet strength in what they say.
