The Likes Of Them (12142025)

the first black man to become president iconic campaign slogan was  "Yes We Can," but he couldn't or should I stick my neck out to say he didn't do for black folk what the man in the red tie is doing for the white folk but we still attach hope to our vote a Poet who spoke and said "they not like us" truth is they don't like us they never did and I doubt they ever will they don't like us so much until we don't like us I don't know why we can't like us why they don't like us beats the hell out of me we can only speculate what motivate them to not like us and treat us like we don't matter the white man is walking around with the constitution stuck to the bottom of his shoe the world had a conniption fit because the black man wore a brown suit I'm only a poet don't shoot it's enough to make you wanna throw your hands up
