Solomon Shane

Solomon A name that would sound of the Hebrew Yet where I walk my skin color pronounces different Solomon A sound that reminds you of the wiseman and his mines Or of his many wives A gas chamber I never went too A biblical verse I never entered Solomon A history of an irish girl Who married with a runaway slave, To give him a name a legacy Solomon Like the roots of my past, Sturdy, strong and irreplaceable I am just a girl with many accusations given to me
