Legal Fiction

"Legal Fiction "

Black Skin, dark desires.
Lewd behavior and carnage,
thus we do not achieve?

Comprehend why we are loathed, we inherited voodo that placed a hex on the moon.

Our heroes were never heroes simply zeroes, the dream of Martin Luther King, the nightmare we live in. Malcom X was a terrorist, the lies he preached terrorised the nation.

Lesions left by the whips that tried ed to discipline and tame the beasts within us.
Slavery was an intervention to free a nigga from the demons that make him a leper and an abomination to God's green earth, therefore he should be chained, victimized and eventually decapitated.
