I am a sinner;
Let me blame it on the Original Sin
That tainted mankind for all eternity.
Let’s not forget, in modern times,
As most people try,
Someone else is to blame-
Not you nor I.
It doesn’t matter if I have a brain,
That works!
And can distinguish choices.
I sin in the comfort,
Of leniency;
My teachers are afraid to tell me the truth,
For fear of legal action.
People around me dare not say,
I am wrong..always have been-
For I can hide behind racism.
So let me be a sinner….
And blame my way till death-
The true exposer,
Cuts the crap and says quite bluntly-
“Your time is up buddy!”
The judges here better check their watches…
There is a limit to telling lies.
