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 is 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 sold 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
share cropping, lynchings, Jim Crow
Black Codes, Angola, Parchman Prison, Bombingham, The Red Lining
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!
Free all the children behind bars!
