Broken Mirrors

See my reflection is broken mirrors, shattered and cracked by memory gaps
Reassembled, reconstructed so they resemble a fact
Wish for a clear complete picture, but it’s not as simple as that
Life is process of coping with what we essentially lack
Solutions are marked by X’s on the sensory map
And skull and crossbones used to predict the enemies traps
Genetics imprinted me black and lineage gives me no stacks
Birth lottery awarded me pole positioning in the back
Cooked in this American melting pot, swimming in a simmering vat
Injured our backs to build this country now giving us crack
And renting us tenements, living as tenants in fact
But I feel that knowledge halfway leaves my innocence whacked
Begin to create solutions when I extract
The awareness of my plight and start predicting its tracks
Piece together shards to discover you’re gifted you’re racked
With potential only needing to be given a chance
But competitive society doesn’t permit an advance by everybody
Only some have their way of living enhanced
Ain’t a fair contest, didn’t choose my original stance
First broken mirror making past visions a glance
