CEE

I didn’t judge you by your skin color
I thought we were just talking, you know
Not that we know each other,
I’ve taken you at face value
Like the Krishna at O’Hare airport
Or the Children of God
The dude from the Divine Light Mission,
I took you at face value
But
You want money, too
And, I don’t know you
And, I never give candy to strangers
Because
Those who ever ask
Want it for vices I don’t approve
I know this, and hold it in my wallet
The money I tell you I don’t have,
You want it for some thing I wouldn’t do
See, I already know me well enough
To know there’s not much I’d ever do
I don’t judge you
But, your vices are yours
I can buy 3 Butterfingers with my dollar
