Moma, why the man haffe to hit on us,
Moma, why the massa always touching
on you like daddy do.
Why we haffe to walk so far to school,
Why do we haffe to look down when
massa talks down to you.
Moma, please mama, why
dem taking yuh away from us.
Why dem starting fire to our house,
why massa kicks us up.
Why moma, why do my friends
throw rocks at us,
We were just playin together.
Moma, my name is Ju Ju,
so why dem call me Ni99er!
Why is being black so wrong moma!
Moma!

Moma where are you?
Where are you moma?

Why don't you just go aways!
Jus leave us be!
Why your belts and whips hit on me!
Moma, stop playing moma,
I'm scared moma,

Why is moma won't ansa me,
why moma is swingin from the tree.
Moma, Moma, are you hearing me!

Noo!

why take them from me
Jus leave me alone!
Moma please come back home!

Masa go, go on,

Your poem really touched my heart TTNU and brought tears to my eyes. As we celebrate Black History Month here in Jamaica and all over the world, your poem brings back a big part of that history. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Peace n nuf luv, JM
