Ghost Diary

Just because I was black,
I was bullied and picked on,mocked from head to toe
So hard to believe that my only friend was also my foe

Just because I was black,
Peter Hughes turned down my request to join his team "The Levitican "
Just because they were all whites and I was the only African

Just because I was black,
Mr Lonnie stopped me from playing with his kids at his residence
Maybe he forgot Barrack Obama, a black was their president

I was only trying to adapt to my new environment so I can feel among
But they rejected me, their opinion about me was so wrong

They all came to the Funeral and offered nothing but tears and flowers
If only they knew saving this poor lad was in their power

To them, Suicide was the cause of my death, that's all they could see
But they were all wrong.....Hatred and Discrimination killed me

Yes it was Suicide.....
Yet it was murder too
