Niggerjew
I told Ella
and Ken
and Bert and Rina too
That
I am a nigger
so I said to myself
if I am a nigger
why am I also a Jew?
and I thought of
Moses and the 10 commandments
and G-d rantin and ravin
and I thought of my friend
Michael
all covered in black
praying morning noon and night
and I couldn't come up
with no answers
so I remained
a niggerjew
not knowing why.
