I pledge the allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under God
With Liberty and Justice for some.
"Some? Don't you mean 'All'?"
No I said it right.
For some.
Because where was Justice for Emmett Till? For Breonna Taylor? For George Floyd?
Where was she
For the people being targeted with death wishes for loving their own gender?
For the people being shot down and brutally MURDERED for their skin, as BLACK and BROWN as the soil of this so called "Free Land"?
"WHAT ABOUT FREEDOM?"
What is that?
Can we call ourselves THE LAND of THE FREE if we abuse and abandon those who seek us?
Those that gave up there lives for their children
Hoping that one day the "FREEDOM LAND" can give them what they couldn't
Only to realize that the grass wasn't greener.
In fact, It wasn't even real green.
The grass was spray painted green to hide its true colors, a dying yellow.
And speaking of Justice, why does she have on that damned blinfold?
So she cant see what's really going on behind the FALSE government system?
"Why does she have it on?"
Can't she hear us begging for her?
Can't she hear her people's CRIES??
Cries from Floyd:
Who used his last 8 minutes on Earth struggling to breathe.
While an officer from her court had his knee on his neck for 8 mins.
The terrifying screams from Till:
A mere 14 yr old child who was LYNCHED (HANGED)
BEATEN BLACK, BLUE AND RED
AND THROWN INTO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
FOR BEING FASELY ACCUSED OF WHISTLING AT A WHITE WOMAN
AND DECADES LATER SHE CAME OUT SAYING SHE L I E D.
The heartbreaking news of Breonna Taylor:
a med student who was shot sleeping in her home
By police
When they had executed a "NO KNOCK WARRANT"
AND ALREADY HAD THE SUSPECT IN CUSTODY.
What about the many innocent men, women and children i have not named?
Does she not feel their blood splatter on her face as she blindly trust those who swear upon her name?
And yet she is still with the same people that mocks my people's deaths
The same ones that puts #BLM
As if its 2020's current trend on Social Media.
So am wrong if I say
"With Liberty and Justice for some" and not 'all'
If so
Riddle me this:
WHO IS IT REALLY FOR?
