A walk in the night

As I was walking under the black sky,
A thought emerged in my mind,
A doubt emerged in my soul;
Is this who I want to be?
A man only with thoughts, hopes and dreams,
Of the perfect life, of the perfect wife,
Of the little joys in my life;
Or do I want to be a man,
With actions and plans,
To achieve those hopes and dreams;
I hope to be a respected man,
Who inspires pride in every man,
Who women want as their man;
Alas, my hopes remain the same,
Long forgotten in my brain;
As Dawn comes closer,
I become just another nigger,
That came and went in this world;
Toiling my whole life as a slave,
Jobs awarded with minimal pay,
Breaks came to me in the nay,
My breath taken away as i fail.
