The Furious

A black man

In the white house

Over 1 million jailed

By corporate america

Land of the free

A black man

In the white house

Over 2 million labeled felon

Incarcerated by the crippling shackles

Of the new slavery

The new jim crow

But tell me it’s not happening

Tell me it's not so

Tell me it's not happening

Oh Jesus no

A people chained

Their dignity maimed

By the collateral consequence of white indifference

But what matters collateral

What collateral settles the score?

Collateral is the very essence of our war

A war on drugs

A war on terror

For or against

Against or for

Oh, then

I am resolutely against

For this is the white wash

The hemlock filled chalice

Of consummate malice

White, the iniquitous story

White, the color of old glory

White, the color of democracy

White, the color of devast

The black man, in the white house

But what strange fruits

What blood on the roots

But here, a people

Once torn from their eden

Now be stripped of their flesh

Becoming invisible

Disappeared

Through the cowards expedience

Of color-blindness

And there

But for the grace of God

Whose face is painted white

Go I

Go you

Go we

The devilry lies in race

The insidious deceit

Of culture

God bless america
