The Little White Boy

[miss_marshy]

Why It Was

I looked outside
All I saw were faces of darkness
And I wondered why this was?

I spoke to one
He sounded the same as me
And I wondered why this was?

I went to school on the bus
I saw him walk
And I wondered why this was?

I got to school and I sat near the front
He arrived and sat at the back
And I wondered why this was?

I got home and I asked my father
Why this was?

He told me
You are white
He is black
That is why this was.
