Enough
Once again, the system fails us,
Everyone defends the guilty one.
Our purpose and lives are taken,
B.L.M is just white noise to the nation.
Breonna Taylor never received justice,
America treats our lives as a fungus.
White kills black acquitted with a snap,
Even when the law is broken in the act.
Charged for being a disturbance,
Not for the crime they committed.
I’m sick and tired of the same crap,
The system acts as a mousetrap.
There’s no excuse that will satisfy,
Why a wrongful killing gets justified.
The system is racist and stereotypical,
That’s why black lives are in dismissal.
