Bolden Boke Boy

If I move slowly through this task
I will earn some rest
If I move quickly and surely
I will do my best
I’m sad to see things change
For you who were such good friends
One should walk the way one needs
And when the way is crooked one bends
Out that evening it makes me sick to think
You put your hands up as if to say
I won’t be part of what you do
Life ain’t war least not today
If I move slowly through this task
I will earn some rest
If I move quickly and surely
I will do my best
This is how it would be
When we would meet often to see
How easy things could be made
And still go down unanxiously
Once you were chased down the street by blacks
Screaming about how cool it is
To be black and you ducked away
It will never be as cool as this
If I move slowly through this task
I will earn some rest
If I move quickly and surely
I will do my best
Then it was needed to become rough
In order not to be inhuman
Uncanny unable and unwilling
To think about not having children
