Do You Really Want To Know,…

Do You Really Want To Know,…
blacks folks arrived as cargo that
survived a slave ship’s cruise,…
that set sail with 400 souls
and arrived with 50 death refused?

Do You Really Want To Know,…
conditions none less barbarous
than the plantation black slave’s hell,
exist today in prison cells
that innocent young black men dwell?

Do You Really Want To Know,…
Why Martin, Malcolm, John and Bob
a lone assassin bullet stopped?...
or why a kerosene fueled fire
is why the world trade centers dropped?

Do You Really Want To Know?

"The problem isn’t that the truth has not been revealed.
It’s that almost nobody wants to listen!"
