PASSING COTTON

I see U

hot & worn

fingers torn & bloody

from pickin' that

fuckin' cotton

2 help build the

country that

won't honestly

acknowledge U

and held U

in captivity

for over

400 yrs

I'm asking

although it's

pointless

and years too late

I'm asking

what can I do

to take away your pain?
