Grey generation

Gogo, remember you taught me that the World is black or white Poor or rich

Remember you told me that your generation Marched on the streets, painted the streets black shouting out for freedom and wealth of their land

Remember you told me that in your generation fancy restaurants and suburbs were painted white

Remember you taught me about inequality That black and white never mix

Gogo, not anymore If  today can be your day of resurrection I will have to be the one that teach you about today generation Because it's has turned grey

There is a virus attack That put everyone on panic The blacks need to be kept safe and isolated too Because their blackness dirty the white The blacks are no longer forefronters of every struggle The streets are painted grey Potraying  struggle of every human All mankind hiding in their hole From the invisible enemy That reminded us That black and white need to come together And create a new grey generation

Gogo I'll never take any of your teachings for granted But for now, just for now black and white have the same enemy and its rubbing shoulders with death And you know death, it's never discriminate It's know no black or white , for now  the world is grey, it's grey!! But for now
