Is It Because I Am Black? Poem by Joseph Seamon Cotter
Is It Because I Am Black?
Rating: ★3.0
Why do men smile when I speak,
And call my speech
The whimperings of a babe
That cries but knows not what it wants?
Is it because I am black?
Why do men sneer when I arise
And stand in their councils,
And look them eye to eye,
And speak their tongue?
Is it because I am black?
