I try to Garner the strength
but I can't breathe
Justice blinded by the light of the media
What to believe is not what to believe....
See the evil, see no evil
Mr. Crow is jimmying the memories of years long passed?
Not so long passed
Memories seeming short in the long term
But this drink from my fountain of knowledge is not just for coloreds
Underlying resentment
playing off insecurities
Our children need more structure
Not incapacitated inequities
Bound by bondage
Invisibly trapping the mind
White sheets, black creeps, yellow seeps, brown sleeps
What color do we have to be to wake up
Pull the stakes up
Make sure that we stay up
because we all have fallen asleep
Amerrrka is America
But its gone North
or south because we will not be silent anymore
It may not be at your door but its in your face
Our history can't be replaced
It cannot be erased or forgotten
Water hosed, anger posed, semi focused angry hoes
Water flows so does blood
but my hands are up
so dont shoot
When did a measure of a life's worth become arguable
Off of mistakes that can be made both small and astronomical
Why isnt the argument about how to remedy situations
So while everyone argues and turns on each other
i'll just continue to sit here
Waiting...........
