Ignorant mornings
Ignorant wakings
Wasting life on waiting
Integrated busing
While my own kind sit in the back
With constant bragging howls of their fellow person
While my own kind sit in the front
Listening and watching it all go down
Constant cussing in the air
While my own kind stand up
Because ignorance can’t share a seat
While my own kind are forced off
Ignorant mornings filled with rage
Ignorant wakings filled with pushing
While ignorance is laughing in the back
