Hanging Jimcrow
the crow of all hideous laws
separate beatings
the blood of freedom dripping from ones mouth
hope and prayers
songs and dances were made to keep our peace
the torture of the government dividing gods people
a pivital point in life
separate but equal was the difference between life and death
the hanging of ones limp and disfiqured body just to prove a point
the hanging of jim crow was a blessing
the struggles of everybeating and death that smothers this law
struggling to breathe, is the word equality
now die peacefully , and adapt to the life of being equal!!
