Black Butterfly

life

our children our dying 

slaughtered upon amerikkkas streets

their blood

soaks the concrete

a mother cries

a tearful song of death 

another afrikan child

has taken his last breath

written off as a statistic

for the caucasian another victory

an endless cycle of genocide

but how can we change the tide

made in amerikkka

the afrikan youth

on the brink of extinction

depraved in the red white and blue

fighting the odds

to becoming a man 

set back in life for taking a stand

the Afrikan males life

from beginning to end

from the ghettoes to the state pen

then back again 

black on black crime

ignorance is high 

unknowing or unwittingly

we're killing for their side

"WHITE MAN CAPITALIZING OFF  OF US DOING TIME"

private prisons appearing as maggots

devouring our souls

the afrikan trapped

in an abyss

of time

but Revolutionaries

Revolutionize

a vision to recognize

knowledge will open doors

on a world

where the Afrikan soars

high with eagles

beyond the atrocities of the ghettoes

their tentacles of knowledge

resuscitating the youth

admonishing them the evils

of the Red White and Blue

slowing emerging

out of cocoons of ignorance

thirsting for the knowledge at hand

the Afrikan male

a fearless warrior

human just like you
