LIMERICKS FOR THE SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS

There was a young boy in grade school
seemed to always be breaking some rule
it turns out as you see
that his color was key
and the trouble? an expelling tool.

There once was a woman who's vexed
she thought to get love you give sex
when she found that's not true
she knew just what to do
now all the man-boys are perplexed
 
How 'bout those female students at Ball State
thought they'd beat up a girl and just skate
tell me please who's the fool
they're in jail, not in school
and the guy? on another girl's plate.
 
It's so hard to be young, male and black
The odds stacked against you's a fact.
Unless you are smart
and take knowledge to heart
With that power, what they think means jack.
