Lynching Live: Normality Reins

Lynching Live; So What? Trumped-Up Normality Reins Knee lynching streamed live, Shadowed death’s source is revealed; Justice remains blind! Cameras roll, showing death’s shadowed source. Cameras don’t lie; streaming the truth of live murder. Oppressive actions of intentional racialism unveiled; Yet, lynched justice remains dangling on the tree of life. In oppression, when freedom fires flare-up, Executive ordered murderers begin shooting; Revealing despotic authority racialism controls. With the support of blind justice’s unbalanced scales, The justified lynching of hued citizens remains pandemic. The pandemonium of the intentional killings of forested black men Has become as normal in America as its friend, out-right abject racism; And breaking news reporting of such is as much a crime as living black. Live streaming of First Amendment rights has been deemed unacceptable And will be dealt with as an aggregated affront against the government; Getting back to normal again has become the unleashing of viral racism. America boils, The pot of death overflows; Racist soup spilling… Many rains ago, Lynching blacks was quite normal; Today, it still is… The lessons of today’s liberation struggle Must not be viewed as a virtual surrealism But clearly realized that it’s graduation time And all must strive to be valedictorians Least we all will fail to cross the live stage; Yes, we hued ones are all in this mess together And anyone of us could be next victim, even you!
