mis-education of fran

i see him

him white boy

him sits in back of class -an gets to say

everything thats on his mind

offends my kind

and whether he is doin this on purpose

I don't know

but minds/(mines) won't grow

if I dont understand what he is thinkin

raise my hand

and say my peace,

BUT

all of them are looking when I speak

i think i'm meek

then instantly they know it too

spells to undo

overcompensate by yelling

then suddenly I am telling them the truth

so much to say but rarely speak my heart
