Ode on Discrimination
Looking back at what we missed;
When was the last time two men kissed?
Not lips on lips, but hand in hand;
A race was a race, fastest guy wins;
Not a race was a race, dependant where you live.
Yes, they were balled up by chains and whips;
But look at the times, they caught up quick.
Looking back at what we did;
Talent like that shouldn't be hid.
Looking back at what we did;
What advantage do we have, a penis?
Lips on lips, and hand in hand;
Not many people know my plan.
A breast was a breast, yes we have them too;
Not, "Stay in the kitchen, you have boobs."
Held back by cleaning, the stove, and the fridge;
Look at the scores, they're smarter than you think.
Looking back at what we did;
It's time we didn't keep them hid.
Now lets see when two men kissed.
Yes, I mean lips on lips.
Just to show you what you missed.
It was yesterday and probably today.
Would you have known?
Not if I didn't say.
Did you die?
I'm talking to you right?
Looking back at what you missed;
Race, women, sexuality...
Damn, you missed a lot.
