Restless, sleepless
Tortured in thought.
Knees on knecks
Feels like bricks on my back
Loosing sleep at night thinking about it.
Restless,sleepless
Tortured in thought.
Hurt by lies that I didn't realize that
I'd bought.
Social media displays of black criminals
White crimes always been on the rise,
Yet displayed at the bare minimum.
Restless, sleepless
Tortured in thought.
How can we sleep when we're still fighting wars,
That our ancestors already fought.
Lives being lost
By the shot of the Police guns.
I believed they were here to serve and protect.
But we're being killed with no chance to run.
Slaves had better odds of getting away during the masters sleep.
Apparently systematic murders run just as deep.
Restless, sleepless
Tortured at thought.
Unable to rest knowing what lies we were taught.
The education system is where the truth must break the chains.❤️✊🏿✊🏾✊✊🏻
Feeling scorned by the sight of death and
So much pain.
Yet so many racists seem to feel no shame.
Claiming black lives are reason for their
Financial failures or lack of fame.
If inclusion seems to be a problem,
Then somethings wrong with the game.
Political scenes to kill, steal and rape the poor.
Maybe a failed government is what you should deplore.
Restless, sleepless
Tortured at thought
Haunted by the strange fruit hanging from trees
Bare feet swinging feels much like the American dream
We never asked or aim to hurt.
We haven't pressed reparations, but we know our worth.
Equal rights over Gods green earth is all we ask
To breed a new birth.
It would be the birth of a brand new land
Where freedom would ring
And free we'd stand.
Where all brothers and sisters can live lovingly fist to fist and hand in hand. ✊🏿✊✊🏾✊🏻❤️
