Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Watts Is Burning Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: July/2014 Run children run! Run sister run! Run brother run! Run for your guns We ain't backing down Not this time - Run through the poisoned black smoke, that permeates through Watts - Run pass the looting, Run down the land mine streets, Run pass the house that's no longer your home - Run for your guns Fight for your life - The Army is here, and they aim to kill - Run run run - fire is raging...... down every street in our community - Watts is burning, And The powers that be, show no interest in putting out the flames - Run children run - Run sister run - Run brother run - Run for your guns We ain't backing down Not this time - Civil War is here - Hell fire has erupted - Set ablaze by our city's, racial government of bigots, that are intolerant to black people. Police brutality, is at an all-time high - and the rotten stench of racism has ran it's course - Run children run Run sister run Run brother run Run for your guns We ain't backing down - Not this time - Watts Rebellion is here! Today we write history - today we die. We want the world to see, that we are standing up for our rights, against a corrupt city government - We have endured enough adversity, Our turning point is now - Our revolution is now - We are fighting for our Civil Rights, Equal Rights Equal Pay, A Right To Vote - Better Living Conditions, And Fare Housing, We are fighting for our lives - Run children run - Run sister run - Run brother run - Run for your guns We ain't backing down Not this time - Watts, is burning. Racial Discrimination, has cloaked our city....... choked It, and strangled it. Dark plumes of smoke, from gunfire explosives, and hazardous gases, sends a disturbing wave of Shock over the T.V. screen, to Millions of people watching around the World - The LAPD and the National guard - Have surrounded us - We want back down - Blood is shedding, white blood - black blood - on our streets - The city's racial bureaucratic machine, have moved in to barricade us, to our neighborhood's, leaving one way in, one way out - Leaving us no choice accept to fight - And Watts, continue to burn - We continue to burn, with anger and frustration. The Chief of Police, have turned his head, to our situation, as fire rages all around. The injured and dead are pilling up - Emergency vehicles have been ordered to stay away, the situation is too volatile - Everything is out of control ....... We Are Out Of Control. Watts is burning - Run children run Run sister run Run brother run Run for your guns We ain't backing down Not this time HELL is unleashed In South L.A. on a people, born in this country. We are fed up, we have had enough of the piss poor treatment, from white slum lords, and red tape from racial city authorities, insisting that poverty stricken Compton, and Watts, is the only affordable area's, where we could live - City official's and state government, has rejected any and all legal demands by black leaders, fighting to better our living conditions. By taking this stand, arrogant, racist whites, Struck a match to Watts, riot - burn baby burn let Watts, burn to ashes - Black Ashes, cremated by bigots in uniforms, masquerading as human beings - Watts, is burning and will continue to burn. Burn baby burn! Let it burn to Black Ashes HELL FIRE! will burn, until liberty is won - Run children run Run sister run Run brother run Stand up black people, We ain't backing down Not this time -
