the statue of liberty

was first a slave breaking free of chains.

The horrible Irony to an anti-racist

comes right back as I think of this,

the dread of the racism our friends are effected by all the time

The blacks expect it and the whites think it does not exist.

The old white guy's society

changed the statue,

decided to make history their myth,

throwing out the facts;

The Woman Slave went from being

dragged from their homes and enslaved

then becoming free..

Into an Icon of welcoming immigrants.

who were not arriving chained in the bottom of a boat.

Did the white supremist

see the evil Irony?

I will not blame victims

of a system that has built in hurdles in their rat race.

Like the white guys who cannot understand

why a lot of black guys are out of work.

Never put two and two together or haven't seen enough

whatever

the Institution of Racism seems 150 years ago

when this country had slaves.

I do not argue with them anymore

they are too ignorant of too much

if they are racist, Islamophobic, filled with hate.

White guys who did not get checked for weed all the time

like the blacks

who filled the prisons,

lost the ability to vote.

Became cheap state labor.

Diminished expectations destroying genius's

Now that weed is legal

all those years in prison?

Wasted lives, the singer sings.
