A Lesson Before Dying
One white, three colored
One colored man breathing?
Who’s accused anyway, Jefferson
White verses colored, always
Hogs verses men, right?
Jefferson would soon die
Shall die man instead
Grant must tell him
He must assure him
He’s a man, Man
Rather him die, Hog
All men are equal
Colored, White, still Equal
No need for inhumanity
Human kind, needs change
