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
to 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
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
gold+fish token players
in a card sharks game
driven on...
by
slight of hand
and confuse
the issue
more
or will this
issue remain
falsely clouded
projected as
an obscured oddity
relegated to ancient history
by those people
not “youâ€
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
