Lincoln, Apartheid, the West

Minority rule Apartheid We, majority, asked: How? blaming the victims of hate! I heard Gandhi, Dr. King, Biko II Now we who have media, wealth, vote ... Ask Lincoln to police Minneapolice (Mean Polis?) We quote, "Be the change you want," but Dream dead Saviors, hate Prez Obama, First Black III We were asked to solve (apart-hate) - apartheid We did so, without the vote, money, or hate We are hard - fair - on you for murderous policing: Just don't kill unarmed Blacks. You need LINCOLN for that!
