A Mother’s Son by Myles Johnson ‘23 A Mother’s Son, destined to attack the day he faces many trials because of his tone but chooses to break away MORE than a rapper or a baller, he is a son who dreams of a world where he can live to be true ,without the spreading disease of racism. A Mother’s Son who can only dream that people are truly treated equally regardless of their skin. A Mother’s Son who prays 4 love. who’s voice cries out for change and begs for a better world A Mother’s Son whose daily mission is to survive who fears his worth isn’t the same as the next man that bows his head and closes his eyes. A Mother’s son who sees the evil in his world but fears the blue and red who's supposed to protect him. A Son who hit his knees to pray, praying he can live and not leave his mother for another day.
