Can’t stop
Racing thoughts
The audacity
Racist cops
They get away scot-free
Seven shots
The man can’t breathe
I can’t watch another cop walk
No shame in their genocide
called exceptional
over 400 years
So yes, it’s intentional
junk science
Manifest destiny
Land and Resources
for those with less melanin
Under the guise of religion
supposedly ordained by the Lord
Disguised as a sword
the lies
the broken treaties
the massacres
Pequot
Sand creek
Wounded knee
the Cold war
Proxy
Excuse to kill People of Color
Label the indigenous Guerillas
They round them up
and drain the water from the Fish
Who trained them?
Who gave them the weapons?
Kill the Indian
Save the man,
Residential schools
The evil
They were just children
Ripped from their families
And look what you did to them
Parents that tried to fight
Were arrested by your LAW
On Sedition
The football team removed the mascot
But Peltier is still in prison
Stolen lives
Stolen dreams
In chains
Across the Sea
No respect for nothing
Not their names, or beliefs
Or tears from broken families
Sold down river
the trauma
Torture
Mutilation
Exploitation
Fake emancipation
Convict Leasing
You set them up and sold them out with reconstruction
sharecropping
lynchings
Jim crow
black codes
Angola
Parchman Prison
Bombingham
the Redlining
what your hate did to Emmett Till
also killed Medgar and was complicit in Malcolm’s death
And you even killed their King
And continued family separation
Attica
Sing Sing
The members of their vanguard
Are now elders behind bars
Free Russell Maroon Shoatz, Jamil Al-Amin
And Mumia Abu Jamal!
Free all the Political Prisoners!
And CHILDREN behind bars, worldwide!
