Black Holiday Taunt

Black Holiday Taunt By Valerie Odom December 24, 2016 Another year’s gone by, Another holiday look how time flies Another lie programmed into my brain But this year I’m awake Tryna break off the chain They just want you either for your money, For your history, or for your vote The government tries to control and divide us, Diced up like peppers, ready to kill us and bribe us I ain’t celebrating no holidays What’s President’s Day got to do with me? Thank you for the days off though But I ain’t with all that negativity It’s another year marked of lies today And things just aren’t going your way Look at me crazy but kill me if you want Get used to our power because this is our Black Holiday Taunt.
