Positively left me underneath br The turtle br Underneath the school bus br Underneath the middle of the day- br And you were teaching classes- br The afternoon got older, br And the children changed around until br They were out of chairs br And some were left without identities- and my art br Was found out, br And sold for nothing- my muse left me, br And her brown skin evaporates br While all of our glorious country got up br To say the pledge of allegiance.
