"ain't I women", by sojourner truth


Yeah sticks and stones would break our bones

but thats nothing compared to the words they said to us

I sat next to this kid named Gus

he didn't believe in the world above

so crosses were put on his desk

the teachers turned a blind eye to his cries

and fingered the ones on their chests

the kids forced him to convert

his mothers tears was all he saw before she left him to a nanny

despite his child Danny and his wife Sally

he still worries they may come

so every Sunday he goes to church even thought

the past bullies are no where to be seen

still he went every Sunday

afraid if he didn't they would make him pay

no matter how much they pleaded

his worry won't go away

his face a never ended scowl

They though it would fade

but, it doesn't fade

he made stars for the top of the tree he didn't keep

he boarded windows and scared at every shadow

he slowly decade inside his spirit long gone

his story sad truth be told

but just remember the moral is

don't bully cause it doesn't fade
