Forty acres and a mule,
Not interested
Talk to me about
a shot of that with interest
You just might get my attention
Let us think of this As a down payment
For a whole lot of named less people
Hung from trees for sport
Destroying well established communities
of law abiding citizens
Out of jealousy,
For greed
Entrapment of countless others
For being late in child support
What in heaven's name
would this represent
Would it mean you will put away
the rebel flags, burn your robes,
resurrect the crosses
attempt to make amends
for all the wrongfully accused, the multitude of victims
you've pointlessly abused
that you will relent The hatred and sickness
of the mind, Of justice a la carte,
Jurisprudence misaligned
Repent from the idea that fraction of a man
Represents who or what we are, in truth
Or what we represent to you
will you reverse the tides of discrimination
That have characterized your impact and influence
Or will that be called reverse discrimination
False arrest, Harassment without just cause
Turning your head from the cries
of the survivors pleading for reconsideration
of the blight of blatant racism
Which still exists In this day and time
In this great nation
who are you trying to fool
Is it true That in order for a law to come forth
To correct the injustice
The same body of persons Representing
Some of the people, some of the time
Will protect the interests
Of the accused
Of attempted genocide
Of false incarceration
Of forced sterilization
Of ghetto sizing multiple generations
Of people As its said
Who were trying to get a hand up
Rather than a hand out
Forty elephants and a donkey
really.
What Are you really trying to do
Tie up litigation
For how many more
generations
seriously, some real people have stood up
for truth, trying to make things right
adjust the loss of trust
amend the oversight
have marched hand in hand
matched us step by step
prayed with us
still others
continue
to prey upon those and anyone else
in a weakened state
to continue to enrich themselves, criticize the process
further stall any progress, being made
degrade and derail any and all attempt to perform
any righteous form of honorable reconciliation
will there ever be true compensation
By irreproachable representation
or just +us isolated from justice
given more of the same loaded dice...
rolling on, cheaters take all
same old stacked deck
same old crying shame...
high stakes poker players
vie for position
in this show and tell all marathon
goldfish token players
in a card sharks game
driven on by slight of hand
confuse the issue more
or will this issue remain falsely clouded
projected as an obscured oddity
relegated to ancient history
by those people not you
sure you are not going to be responsible
for what someone else has done
what else can they do
except to be irresponsible(run)
are we still fighting a battle
against all odds, to win
or will it be, conditions as before
Trying to make a monkey out of us
Again
and again
Will this charade
Never +end
