Tell me what you think

[POP2 4,205]

Hey guys, I'm feeling a lot of confidence tonight and thought I would use that as an excuse to show you my poem I wrote awhile ago. It was really hard to write, however, it's something I am super passionate about. I know it might make some of you angry... I get that.  (Sorry if it's in the wrong category). Let me know what you think

 

Welcome to the Ghetto

Burn the Flag, Watch it sizzle

The Nation Cries, Oh we’re so little

The stars will shatter, The stripes will break

The nation’s a sham and d*mn so fake

“Revolution” They scream; They break the peace

they damage windows, they own this street

“F*ck the system” the chants will echo

Our country hates them: Welcome to the ghetto

___________

You call them thugs, the modern “N”

You twist their stories on cnn

You spit in their faces and call them the bother

When our role in history was nothing but slaughter

You point your finger ‘cause you’re in command

 make them the enemy in their own land

_____________

Do you see why they’re angry?

Why they burn the flag?

Mistreated.

Misguided.

Viewed like the plague.

They’re furious, They’re fuming

They only want change

But with change comes violence

And with violence comes blame

_____________

Their “Protection” kills their children and watches them suffer

While fabricating a narrative to create a cover
They bleed and bleed from the one’s in charge

The number of “accidents” is getting quite large

It’s obvious their lives mean nothing to you

When “Black” turns to “All” and all turns to “Blue”
