White Man’s Dilemma
The white man has a dilemma. He brought it on by his own complacency. He relaxed and made room for others to take his place and move over.
White Man’s Dilemma
For many years the white guy had the upper hand
He ignored the pending storm
He ignored the competition
Got preoccupied and ignored history
Too busy to stay tuned to reality
The slave is forced to work hard
While the master gets complacent
And he learns his lessons well
And eventually becomes the boss
He invented easy to use equipment
The world’s biggest earth moving machines
Can now be operated by the delicate hand
The computer doesn’t require brawn, only brains
He made creature comfort supreme
Invented laws to protect the weak
And the weak became strong
Women’s liberation came along
In his heart the good old boy syndrome still exists
But self-indulgence does much harm
When others are working to displace you on your throne
Advantages of old can vanish
Tough competition is coming for you
Your sister is saying
Move over brother
Make room for me
And your other brother
Of a different color
Wants to join us too
You will find there is plenty of room
The world is a big house
With many rooms
You see
You have done well brother
Now we want to play too
