The Revolution Will Be Televised

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED All the news you can use is no longer completely controlled by CNN, ABC, CBS OR NBC, The new GATEKEEPERS because of our cell phone, web cams and these new toys have become you and I. Cops killing Black Folks, put on social media and the news spread all over for the world to see That the land of milk and honey does not follow its own laws, and that Black folks continue to die So the rich and famous will live off the sweat of our brow. I am tired of being a third class citizen in a land my people helped to build, design and form, Tired of walking on eggshells, being leery of people that my taxes pay to protect and serve. Slavery still exists, subservience in the mind of our people is reaching the level of a class five storm And we want deserve and demand our “HUMAN RIGHTS” and we also want to preserve The dignity that comes with being born in THE GOOD OLE US OF A.
