BROKEN PLATES OF JUSTICE

CATEGORY

life

Views: 180

 

 

When law and order personnel

Can break into a Black woman’s house

And murder her for sleeping well

Know that justice has been served

In America!

 

When knees are forgiven

For snuffing out the breath

Of an innocent Black

Know that justice is served

In America!

 

When crying laughing white youth

Can roam the streets and murder

White men who believe in equanimity

Can be praised for self-defense bigotry

Know that justice has been served

In America!

 

And when vigilante family

Is exonerated for chasing and killing

A jogging Black man in their community

By  shooting him in his black back

Know that justice has been served

In America!

 

Now you know why the present

Blind, uneven scaled Statue of Liberty

Replaced the original queenly Black one:-

That deemed justice would always be served

In America!

 

“Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light…”

That when it comes to the likes of you me

Broken plates of justice are always served us here

In America!

 

Thus we are told to be grateful

 That we are here perpendicular—

Living semi-free—justly served here

In America!
