“History of Separation”
Why is it that mother's no longer feel connections in the womb
tell me how fathers can stand outside the birthing room
is ludicrous to think that we all have a right to be loved
or more so to think that no woman or child should be pushed and shoved
can the government get away with telling lies and hogging power for themselves
making a mockery of democracy while freedom sits on their shelves
it's no longer about the relationship of peer and family
but rather removing children from their homes to be placed with total strangers it seems
can't figure out what happened from the time I was born til today
when grandparents and aunts and uncles gave misplaced children a place to stay
no summer running barefoot or riding your bike around the corner anymore
because there's no telling what danger lies in the man's house just next door
give me back my family ties and friends and family
bring glue to threads and ties that bind my community to me
bond me with my mayor, my pastor, my housing development president
so that the history of separation ends now in this ever hurting present
