Raage
YOU SHOULD RAAGE...
Against your Civil rights being disregarded.
RAAGE...
Against children playing with toy guns blown away.
RAAGE...
Against seeing mother grieve over her dead teen.
RAAGE...
Against some deep protect and serve concrete mind sets.
RAAGE...
Against property values over Christmas cards.
Yay, these be black day as rights are given away.
RAAGE...
Against the teacher's need for a gun like police.
RAAGE...
Against call for help with a party leaves regrets.
RAAGE...
Against mental ill killed in front of police cars.
RAAGE...
Against strict secret keeping from the media.
RAAGE...
Against the "believe us" Rodney King Legacy.
RAAGE...
Against the, "in fear of my life" testimony.
RAAGE....
Against a society of double standards.
RAAGE...
Against the unprotecting of minorities.
RAAGE...
Against Dr. King's dream, for most folks, still unseen,
And a blind justice that sees only blue or green.
RAAGE...
And stand your ground was how society was raised.
PRAISE...
A leader raised in poverty understands rage.
Outside the white house an angry parade decrees,
"ENRAGED are we,
The way some are treated differently,
All of us are the same,
Despite color or claim".
Ah, those were the days.
