A black boy will be born into the world like a cold war Like the slow walk to the gallows Born to a chorus of hushed whispers and shaking heads Born with skin. SKIN that shouts louder than the angel that declares its birth He will be born with questions: Whose son is this? And where is the father who planted the seed? When will this boy s cry be.
