Here, have a dollar, in fact now brotherman, here have two Two dollars means a snack for me, but it means a big deal to you. Be strong, serve God only, know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits.
That´s the poem I wrote for the first time, I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate. Mr Wendal, that´s his name. No one ever knew his name ´cause he´s a no one. Never thought twice about spending on a ole bum, until I had the chance to really get to know one. Now that I know ´em, to give him money isn´t charity. he gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes. And to think Blacks spend all their money on big colleges, still most of yaw´ll come out confused. . . go ahead, Mr. Wendal. Go ahead, Mr. Wendal.
Mr. Wendal has freedom a free that you and I think is dumb. Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society,
for Mr. Wendal´s a bum. His only worries are sickness and an occasional harassment, by the police and their chase. Uncivilized we call him but I just saw him eat off the food we waste. Civilization - Are we really civilized, yes or no who are we to judge? When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved and killed over a racist grudge.
Mr. Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways but we don´t hear him talk. Is it his fault when we´ve gone too far, and we got this far ´cause on him we walk. Mr. Wendal a man, a human in flesh, but not by law.
I feed you dignity to stand with pride realize that all in all you stand tall. . . go ahead Mr. Wendal, Mr. Wendal Lord, Mr. Wendal.
