One little Black boy was enchanted by,
the shimmer of diamond and gold.

One little Black boy was hypnotized by,
the power of the almighty dollar.
  
One little Black boy was charmed by,
a glistening white rock.

One little Black boy hardened his heart.
One little Black boy ignored his brother's cry.
One little Black boy yearned for easy money.

One little Black boy clenched his bleeding wound.
One little Black boy gasped his last breath.

One little Black boy will never become a Black man.
