Why are blacks at war today?
A poem about the forces at work against African-Americans and our inability to recognize them for what and who they are…
why are blacks at war today?....
outright stupidity!
we’re killing other black folks just
to keep the white man free
Constantine blessed slave traders
on boats did come and walk
their slave ships stole the way we look
their whip silenced our talk
now,..
humans may be destined to
war, fornicate and sin
my brothers know this for a fact
the white man plays to win
and why are blacks at war today?
why do the bullets fly?
why do rap singers shoot it out
on ghetto corners…
Why?
And….
Why was the genocide ignored
In Rwanda and Sudan
Why has the white press not implored?.....
Cause white folks have a plan!!!
please let me quote a poem I wrote
bout fifteen years ago
read it loud and read it clear
read it fast or read it slow
"a racist underground exists
a chilling fact indeed
they seek to kill steal and destroy
we can’t let them succeed"
a racist underground exists
it has for many years
a Bush and Cheney white house is
a culmination of my fears!!!
why are blacks at war today?
outright stupidity!
we’re killing other black folks just
to keep the white man free
