If I were a Black Man

Knowing me as you do
Our friendship
Over years
Makes me ponder
What if

What if

I were a black man

Why do you talk ill of black men?

Their
Aboriginal life
Aboriginal strife and struggles
Why?

And
If black was gods will for me
Would you need to be black too?

For our friendship to endure
