Ebony/Ivory Poem by Valerie Reid

Ebony/Ivory



Ebony, Ivory
Opposites Attract
The Black Of Me, The White of You
Is Why We get Attacked!

My So Called Friends, My Family
Bounty Hunter They Call Me
You're Brown on the outside but inside you'reNot,
The original 'Mr Coconut'

Why Don't You find a Sista
What's wrong with your guts?
You took the easy option
Those Girls Don't Know Us!

Life's not a bed of roses for we have our struggles too
We may not vocallise them
But it's due in part to you
So take your closed mind somewhere else and just leave us in peace

Good Luck, God's Speed and Adieu,

Just Go and Let Us Be!
