THIS SYSTEM

CATEGORY

It has become apparent 
That black is still 
A colour of oppressed souls
Because the system 
Was never changed
It was simply infused 
With blackness 
But its core refused 
To amalgamate 
With this foreign species
 
This system does all it can
To eliminate this infestation 
Black has become 
An object with a target 
For this system to test 
Its weapons on 
To see how many bullets 
It will take for this 
Black plague to realise that 
This system was never built
In their favour
 
This system is 
An instrument 
Of oppression
It was built to enslave 
Those who dare speak out 
Against the status quo 
It was built by those 
Who feared being broken 
So they chose to break 
The world to their will 
So that the world could 
Never rise to break them
 
This system was created 
As a contract men enter into 
But the fine print 
Which is hidden
And blinds justice  
Still cripples those who
Where simply added to it 
As an after thought 
In an effort to paint inclusion 
A simple gesture 
To console hearts plagued 
By injustice

Fabulous wordplay used as you brought your point home: "But the fine print Which is hidden And blinds justice Still cripples those who Where simply added to it As an after thought In an effort to paint inclusion " Spot on expression...yes!
