Call Me by My Name: Ballad

By: Damian Dixon
Schools just integrated and
many didn’t like
But a black boy became best
friends with twins that were
white
He fell in love with the girl
twin, but many people hated
The black boy and the boy
twin had LSU waiting
Being friends, of course they
faced many problems
Being friends with a black,
was like facing a world full
of goblins
Despite that, they always
showed love
But with all the love in the
world, would it be enough?
It was the state championship
game and many came to see
If the white and black boy were
all they were made out to be
While running the game
winning touchdown, he caught
a glimpse of his lover’s head
And before he hit the end zone,
the black boy dropped dead
