ATo Walking In The Shadows Of Death~~~~

Out of the day, weird and as dark as the

morbid grave,

I walk through the shadows of old death

filled with rage.

Here in the declared land of the free and

home of the brave,

I’m still deemed no less than that of an old

unchained slave.

Daily life is lived no less than that of being

on death row;

The beautiful ebony sheen of my skin limits

where I can go.

 

Well at least in today’s shadows of death, I

protect the trees;

To save the forest, they now lynch blacks

with their knees.

Oh but now, the racist wrinkles of time are

being  put to the tests;

Rainbow masses of fed-up youth flood the

streets with protests.

Here in the land of life, liberty and pursuit

of happiness,

Daring young people are challenging its viral

racist mess.

Putting their lives on the line for crimes against

you and me;

They’re showing the world a true commitment to

making all free.

Including all those lives of beautiful black people

like you and I be.
