Contrary

Description

Revealed through my daily demonstration is the reality 

That re-education births liberation.

 

The liberated soul does not fold, contrary to what we’ve been told.

Despite global warming, this world is cold.

 

Contrary to what we’ve been led to believe,

To protect the people is the people’s job indeed.

NABPP serves the people, programs to meet the communities’ needs.

 

In the words of Jay-Z,

“We must not let outsiders violate our blocks.”

How can we stand by and watch them throw another generation in the box?

The one with the locks, and the one in the grand,

When the suspect is a pig, why are they never found?
