Fleur-de-lis (Saints' Logo/Mark of Slaves)

CATEGORY

Views: 320
Walking around the French Quarter in a daze,
I saw NFL games on TV being played,
Rich ni@@as being bought and sold via fantasy trades,
Similar to slave days when massa used
Fleur-de-lis' to mark the hides of slaves,
Few know the Saints' logo and story,
The Redskins ain't the only franchise that's derogatory,
For hundreds of years blacks slaved and share cropped sugar cane,
Yet even after "freedom" we gang bang and slang cane,
Worked for the white, made the white (sugar/crack), that caused our plight,(diabetics and addiction) ironic,
Mental, spiritual, emotional and physical diseases plagued us for centuries like the bubonic,
Plague, Black Death, long term effects we cursed like a voodoo hex,
Plantations were replaced by the industrial prison complex,
Our future should be a destiny manifest,
Being survivors from a long line of survivors was the ultimate test,
Against all odds, given nothing, we invented America.
But they keep us uneducated and depressed, 
Frustrated and in debt, 
Doped up and locked down because they're scared of what's next!
