Reconciliation (The day the Whites kissed the Blacks)

Sorry Day they said was for blacks
All about Blacks
And
All for Blacks
About stolen kids
Black kids
And
Lost generations

About desperate black mothers
Rare mention of fathers black or white

And no mention of the good whites
Or
The rogue blacks

And that was

The day the Whites kissed the blacks
