Three Black Girls

Three Black Girls

In our all white upscale restaurant

That is all we see

Three Black Girls

Sittin’ at our table

All white faces

All white tablecloths

Three Black Girls

How could they afford it?

Is what we think

Three Black Girls

Sippin’ off our china

Our white china

Our expensive china

Three Black Girls

Eyes whippin’ them

Like thin rope

Three Black Girls

Enjoying their supper

Just like the

Three White Girls at the next table

Three Black Girls

Longing to be accepted

In our all white upscale restaurant

Three Black Girls

That is all we see
