Payment Plan

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
