Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

Mingle with the good people we meet


Mrs. Jones told daughter Jane do not cross that old railroad track
Mrs. Jones had learned from Papa John
that once you go black you could never come back


Mrs. Brown told daughter Kim do not cross that old railroad track
Mrs. Brown had learned from Papa Joe
that when whites see Negroes they will attack


Will all the righteous people please stand up and move your feet
Crossing all racial barriers to mingle with the good people we meet


Mr. Kamal told son Karam to take up arms and defend the Holy Land
Mr. Kamal had learned from the PLO
to never trust a Jewish man


Mr. Weiss told son Barak to take up arms and defend the Holy Land
Mr. Weiss had learned from the Israeli government
to never trust an Arab man


Will all the righteous people please stand up and move your feet
Crossing all racial barriers to mingle with the good people we meet
