They told me to always read between the lines,
Know what?
I did...
I found nothing,
I found a reed between them,
CLICK!
She was behind me in the line,
Now she's 4 steps in front of me in the same line,
CLICK!
My ticket reads A22
Hers reads A50,
CLICK!
They watched her move,
Helped her skip,
She looks at me from a far,
CLICK!
This ain't fair,
The guards ain't fair,
The guys in the line are not fair,
CLICK!
She was white,
Not exactly white... brown, no! white, no! Gold,!
Yes. GOLD,
She was gold,
Special,?
Worth something.
CLICK!
Not like me...
Black
Dark
No
Dakar
Coal
Worth nothing,
Bugu
