I was the first one of the first
My first day
a state trooper caught me
put me in the backseat of the car
and meeting
the other black kids
was six of us
And seeing all of those parents
and also KKK members
having signs
and throwing cans at us
spitting at us
We lived in the threat of death
every day Every day
So I was just lost
in this vacuum
between integration
and segregation and
and racism
That was my childhood
I was angry for years
angry very angry
