Black Protest In Gb
American protests for American problems from American law
As a white man, as I am, can’t help but notice, a tiny little flaw.
It is not a black issue but an American one
And fact is I stand with you, hoping change is to come
But I don’t live under American law,
or with American mentality,
where white superior and the brutality
Recognising American ways are not universal,
as in Britain ways I’ve not seen at all.
Brits protesting seems to be copycat
caused by pride but not fact,
Ignorant to differences in attitude
and justice levels not skewed
Those American events have an ill taste
but that’s the flavour America will place
it’s about their law being replaced
and not the universal black race
