You Call That a Choice?A Poem by Bob BWise adults know the value Of leaving foolish thoughts unexpressed. Somehow that message has been lost On rap singer Kanye West.
When mentioning the many years Of suffering when the enslaved had to toil And live in fear of whippings and lynchings And rape here on American soil,
West has now made slavery A topic to which he's given voice: That it lasted for so many years Means that it must have been a choice!
West claims that he's a freethinker. Critics, of course, will disagree. Anyone who knows the past Would substitute "non" for "free."
If that's his desire for recognition, He's found an odd way to gratify it. What a way to promote an album! Who the hell would want to buy it?
The singer, desperate for attention, Is just like somebody else we know. Money, fame, and power can turn you Into a real so-and-so.
