Mulatto Queen
by John Kaniecki
Loveliest thing you've ever
seen
Sweet, sweet mulatto queen
A woman caught in between
In a harsh solitary scene
For she is far from white
A disgrace in proper
society's sight
Nor is she kin
To those of darker skin
For though she is a slave as
well
She is favored, all can tell
Master with his lustful ways
Lavishes her with endless
praise
Her teary blue eyes
Always tell
The living hell
When she is made to
compromise
Life is a complicated
Never loved, constantly hated
Unsure where to dwell
Always made to sell
If she refuses to stay in
line
Master will retaliate
If she makes things fine
It is something she does hate
A mistress to a married man
Without a voice
Without a choice
She does the best she can
Only happy when she's in a
dream
Mulatto queen
