Liberty restricted

With no respect,

 

The black identity

Under house arrest,

 

Endangered

But labeled suspect,

 

Law enforced

Hatred unchecked,

 

Sanctioned

By political elects,

 

Whom do they serve

Whom do they protect,

 

Subordinates

And rednecks,

 

Since the airing

Of Shogun, no one

Has stopped to reflect,

 

Inner city violence

Is a project,

 

Ulterior motives

We fail to detect,

 

Landmines triggered

By colored steps,

 

Misguided

By community reps,

 

Duplicity

Of the moral right

 

Absence of

The political left,

 

Police armed

Despite failed psych test, 

 

Whole communities

Sentenced to death,

 

By maniacs

In bullet proof vests,

 

Equal justice?

Don’t hold your breath,

 

Black folks pawns

In genocide chess,

 

Oppressive courts

Versus black flesh,

 

D.A.’s dealing from

The bottom of the deck,

 

Judge hang ‘em

high “I object,”

 

To internal affairs

Gross neglect…
