The Unbreakable Bond
The world was never ready for us
Never ready for our births, our love
Our bond
Our babies
The wind caught us flying free
Jealous minds set out to plead against us
Plead us to hate, mistreat, and mistrust each other
The world wasn't ready for our bond
They tore us down and killed us
Before they did, they mislead us
Tricked us, conspired against us, and misguided us
They turned us against one another
Convincing us both that other lives were better with strife
That we were better living apart
They never wanted us to kiss
to touch, to love one another
They never wanted us to know what we had in common
Our brown and dark skin provoked a devious
Devious cutting, undermining blow
A blow that dug deep into our minds
Into our hearts
Man, woman, kissing, brown dark skin
Anguish, jealousy, self hating, bigotry
Separating us, putting distance between us
Telling us we can't love each other, but someone else
Different, it's better they say,
Love some one else, but not each other
No not you brownies
Love somebody else
They can't look like you
The world wasn't ready for our unbreakable bond
Yes our bond will become unbreakable
Yes say it again
They weren't ready for us
But we were never ready for ourselves either
The Unbreakable bond
