    Poem Commentary

    From the person whom has walked in my shoes.

    "Pardon Me America, but...."

    I built this country; and you give me no respect.
    I demand the rights you offer, and you hang me by the neck.
    I know not my faith; cause you've beaten it out of me.
    I was forced with YOUR belief, and taught YOUR history.
    I was promised 40 acres; but you gave me slums.
    I am invited to the table; but you feed me crumbs.
    I am told I am equal; but you shoot me in the back.
    I get persecuted for the crime, of being born Black.
