Unwashable Handshakes

White Faces and We the People go hand in hand. White hands shake white hands without ever washing their hands. Handcuffs, In God we trust Affirmations rendered on God's word promotes equality Yet, same crime different times feels like slavery after the fact Your flag rebellious by nature Mine unified with plenty of disruptions I tend to side with you But that only leaves Me handcuffed swearing to a misappropriated deity while you are telling me to get over it high-fiving your one and only ***** friend washing your hands
