Daughter to Mother

Said to her mama, a sweet 5 year old
( pretty mixed up):
Mother, Mother, I am white!

Replied mama to child
(to set her right):
Black thou art till proven otherwise.

Negro is not easy to disprove,
if in black womb,
conceived thou waz.

Happily, the opposite is irrelevant.
Conceived in a white womb, of itself,
a full-fledged Caucasian does not make you.
