They gag us with their Stars and Stripes 

We are light like stars but they want us behind bars like animals

Pulling back on old glory like reins but we are no longer your chattel 

Your red white and blue means nothing to us that seek our true flag

You can no longer use our blood to dye your flags red in contrast with blue uniforms and white sheets

I spell America with three K’s

As the same amount of Kalashnikov rifles lean against my wall

We are no longer docile s 

We are not s and bad es

They know who we are 

That’s why they kept it from us for centuries

Our minds in the sunken place under the floorboards of the good ship Jesus 

Those of us that know the truth of self are free while others think the Underground Railroad is a myth sitting on the plantation thinking that is freedom

Someone needs to set them free

Their minds still eat watermelon and fried chicken on master’s veranda 

Rise up like the sun for it is ours

The hours are approaching on tired feet

Walk with time so it may heal you...

A powerful pen Soulchild37! You have nailed the truth with respect to his-story and ourstory! Indeed, how long will it take us to walk with and control time that it serves us, rather than us serving time. Peace and Love Brother, mlowe5
