“I was once a young Black boy”
An excerpt poetic monologue from BOYS LIKE US “I was once a young Black boy” HAYWOOD I was just a young black boy A black boy born from a black mother Nurture from the womb Protect me from the tomb Stoned by the white power that wants me dead They want to have my head The coffin is my new bed
