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!!
