Black Lives

Black lives with a president full of black lies
we vote in donald trump thats bad news
like a card game trump we reached to the
end of the stump no longer growing like
trees more like falling to our knees or falling
leafs stressed so we blowing trees youth please
go out and make a change it aint a game lives matter
poems full like a bottle of overflowing emotions man i
miss obama he was sturn you know sort of like yo mama
on you going to school even when you act a fool eating
healthy foods fats im stating facts it dont matter if its 
fat man or dat man at the end of the day its who we pick
and choose trump is who i refuse hes fraudulent hes a fail
hes a frail this aint no fairy tail black lives theres a thin line
between greats and snakes we wont find peace unless its 
justice we seek black lives like the jim crow law until changed
we get beat by the feds with crow bars when will it stop we
lost michael brown,eric garner,trayvon martin,freddie gray,
philando castile, these are just an exampile(example) not
even old enough to make it to 90 like castro black lives 
lead by that role i pray our brothers rise black lives

No Longer the Victim

Associates come by the dozens 
Friends accumulate in fewer denominations
From a gentle hand, to a revenge fueled fist,
we learn sturn but valuable lessons
Influenced by network television,
attempting to embrace every individual that approaches
What is untold, is the story of disloyalty 
Preoccupied with being accepted
I think it's time we live free of consequences--
Free from any burden tethered to our ankles
Break the shackles that confine us to modern day society
