LIFE IN THE LAND OF BOXES

 

I was born in a Jesus Box

Safe from Hell behind locked doors

The Devil's kingdom outside roars

I was born in a Jesus Box

I couldn't see over those walls so high

To see if the Devil was telling a lie

 

I was born in a white man box

" Do your job with vim and vigor

  or we'll replace you with a nigger "

I was born in a white man box

" If you perform to our satisfaction

  we might let you in on some of the action "

 

I was born in an American box

So glad that we won World War Two

Those who hate us are just jealous

I was born in an American box

 

I was born in a chromosome box

The biodegradable kind

( And I hope it's the last one )

That's me in the baby cage with two of my brothers outside. T hose are my grandmother's feet.
This is brilliant and delightfully brutal!

Thanks PM,

    I think Lennon covered this ground best in Working Class Hero but we've all got a story to tell.  mar

And each a unique and poignant perspective in the telling.

Thanks RaibearT,

    Aside from being part of my Memory Bank those old black and whites reveal things that color doesn't. marK
