The Land of the Free and Home of the Slave
The 4th of Ju-lie 1776
A new country,
The home of the brave
the land of the free
Liberty and Justice For All,
…… except slaves who had none of these things for 89 years.
Some say white America lied,
but you just elected Trump,
so I think they were slow to realise,
because after 89 years it was pointed out to them by slave eyes.
Superiors need to look in mirrors,
because 3 generations missed it,
inferior minds they were not you,
they won with their mind and wit.
I'm white btw, I just like irony.
