082420PSCtest, When Plans Don't Go To Plan, Silent One
Per rules: No caps, little to no punctuations
Back in the 90s **** was real,
Used to have dope rhymes to seize a record deal,
As police brutality caught reveal
Now look how we veer with one hit wonders,
Weak rhymes will get you there,
We hid to the underground as the government took the wheel.

POLICE BRUTALITY MAY BE CAUSED
BY THEIR STORM TROOPER UNIFORMS AND ACCOUTREMENTS
DRESS THEM IN NUN’S HABITS WITH A ROSARIES AND
THEY MAY SHOW MORE COMPASSION
DRESS THEM IN A CLOWN’S OUTFIT WITH BIG SHOES AND
THEY MAY SHOW MORE HUMILITY
DRESS THEM AS GOD
AND THEY MAY LOOK OVER HUMANITY
AS THEY SHOULD
Darkness …
He opens his eyes
Confusion?
He is surprised
A badge. A uniform. An officer?
Memory - please remember
Blood, now dried, blood, he cried
The streets - where have they gone
He remembers a gun
Memories come pouring in …
He remembers being a victim
He is dead, the cause -
police brutality
The slave master is still taking care of your children
He still houses (Section 8) them
He still feeds (Food Stamp) them
He still has health care (Medicaid) for them
He still educates (Affirmative Action) them
He still robs (Cheap Labor) them
He still kills (Police Brutality) them
When are going to take care of your own children
Slave Dad
The levees broke and the seas rolled in,
Killing brothers, sisters, and next of kin,
Police killed the innocent but denied the sin,
Now new season lies round the bend,
God help New Orleans if it happens again!
=====================================
Contest: Golden Gratitude
Very blessed that the Lord spare many
from police brutality and the terrors of
nature.
246 bullets
10 Cops
1 black man
And a lifetime of pain
1 funeral
1 courtroom
12 jurors
1 judge
1 verdict
Not guilty
1 claim of self defence
This is the world we live in
One in which black people choose freedom
Which is stolen From us
And white people have their skin
Which means they will automatically be acquitted
This is the world we live in
Stop being ignorant
When you see
almost as many
White faces
as Black ones
peacefully protesting
holding up
"Stop Killing Black People" signs,
it's emphatically clear
that enough
is really enough.
The American people
are fed up completely
with police brutality
and want to be heard.
They demand justice
and accountability.
But who's listening
to the cries of change?
Does anyone care?

When a black man has a knee pressed against his throat
police brutality has no known antidote.
He can't breathe; cut no slack.
Complaining he was choking, they ignored his plea,
and one cop kept on pressing his weight on that knee.
Both hands cuffed in the back.
People watched in horror as his life got snuffed out;
all they could do for George Floyd was stand there and shout.
He's died for being black.
What they did to tamir rice Cold as ice I'll give some advice Think twice Think thrice An innocent paid the price Which led to his demise This is a matter of black lives Our final goodbyes We look to the sky As we wipe our eyes A burning rage on the inside So then we devise And collect our allies To symbolise To vocalise Our need for you to apologise And recognise Your many lies You televise And improvise A way to criminalise Black lives
United we stand divided we all fall. Nowadays history seems to be having domino effects. attending public places of worship, public bathrooms, police brutality, institutions of learning, playgrounds, kidnappings are on the rise, hatred, jealousy and senseless mass murders in the land we call home of the brave and freedom where is the safety and happiness bestowed innocent and struggling people will it ever be hope that one day we will all unite.
