Enough has been said, my people:
They had the mendacious mendacity
To say to you and me
They knew of the dread
Of the racist murdering lead
That killed the ten that are dead;
But they freely chose to ignore
The crisis of a mostly Black store:-
And why to 911 should it matter
Where mostly Blacks usually gather?
Yet, they daily let the Ukrainians know
Which way the Russians had plans to go;
That they could be on guard for the onslaught
That weary White power differences had brought:-
When it comes to the mattering of Black harm,
Does it matter who comes to the politico platform?
Once more and again we’re caught in another catch-22
In coming elections to choose the lesser evil for me and you;
Though we do not yet have a Panther Party of our very own,
We must choose the lesser of the evils to correct what’s wrong:
Thus, if Black [really] don’t crack—we must in every way—bring back
Those on the winding staircase climb, who are still on the rightful track:-
Remember, despite the many voiding ways, a VP became President,
And though some found it impossible to reach the prized throne,
For a blessed few, it became a most inspiring personal assent;
Thus, let’s not leave who is waiting, standing there all alone.
