Black man, you are on your own

It might seem safe to say I see.. while looking at you with my eyes shut.
It might be safe to say I hear you.. while my hands cover my ears
I might fool you into thinking I acknowledge you..............that its safe to come out.
But its not..

I was there when you were born, cut the umbilical cord and taught you all that you needed to know, removed from you instinct and now.. now when you need me the most I look upon you and all I can do is weep... Black man, you are on your own and freedom, freedom was the lullaby i sang for you to get you to sleep.. to feel safe and to feel like you belonged in my arms...
Black man... you are on your own
