Old skool
 headstones popping out the ground like daisies, there's more black brothers dead then there are who have graduated, death we anticipate, no we are not afraid because we grew up in the land of grave's, and yes our ancestors were brave to stand in the face of death, and how afraid they must have felt to take there last breath, justice and liberty don't mean a thing to me, because we where never even free, every 20 years it is left up to a man, to decide if I can, vote once again, but if you ask me the hell with democracy, freedom is a state of mind, just understand that justice will never come, and equality is just a dream, a dream that will never be seen, as we are still treated like second-class citizens in country that we built, this wouldn't even be a country if it wasn't for a slave, he shot the British General in the neck, just so those Confederates can treat us like s***, and no I will not bite my lips and hold my tongue, I'm let it be told and flow like a Djembes drum, like that West African beat screaming from the door of no return, brought here on ships stacked from head to toe like we were nothing but a piece of cargo, so hell NO! i will never let it go, i'm let it be shown by the way walk, the way i talk, the way i write, by the way I stand tall and fight for my rights, by the way I raise my children, to make sure they understand and never forget, how they could have been a piece of cargo on that ship, restitution we will never see and No i am not talking about AFDC, The government will never give us a thing, the lives that were took and the things that they did, for the rape's and the beatings, and the unwanted biracial breeding's for the hundreds of years of work in the cotton fields, for the ghettos and the slums of every city, for the Jim Crow laws and for the fight of it all! i will never take a step back, i will be heard until those slave spirit awake and God calls them back and no this is not an attack,  it's just a known fact.by: Sensation The PoetCopyright 2013.
