Arousal Of A Cauc

STAY DOWN BLACK BOY STAY DOWN! Ain’t no kings allowed. I wake up every day grateful that I get to whitewash yo world down. You answer to US(Aye). Proud to carry mah privilege. Bliss in mah spirit knowing that the greater man is envious… STAY DOWN BLACK BOY STAY DOWN! If you can’t rap or catch a ball you’ll nevuhh make yo mama proud. We gave you religion.. keep on praising that white man in the clouds. Keep on killing each othuh, that’s what yo life is all about… STAY DOWN BLACK BOY STAY DOWN! Black Lives Matter, huh? I’ll wait for you to tell me how.. Not even your parades and cascades can bring us down. AIN'T NO WAY AROUND. I see it in yo eyes.. you don’t want to make it out. I’ll nevuh be on yo side, yet I’m marching with yo crowds. To make sure, black boy… to make sure you STAY DOWN!

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
