Overseer/Officer

Have we Made a full Circle?

Have we gone Back in Time?

Is this All a bad Dream?

Am I Losing my Mind?

The Slave ships have been Dismantled.

The Cotton fields pick Themselves.

Human auctions are a not so Distant memory.

In the White House we now Dwell.

Overseer, did you just Whip that Black man?

Officer, did you just Beat that Woman down?

Wasn’t he Tied to a Tree?

Isn’t she Already on the Ground?

Your Need for Slavery power,

is more Apparent than Ever before.

You Abolished your Oath to Protect us.

Our Rights and Privileges you try to Destroy.

You Hate that we are Better than you.

You Hate that we are not Afraid.

You Come like a Rabid Hyena mob.

Then, Court ordered Reparations are to be Paid.

Overseer, you never Had these Laws!

Officer, you don’t Make these Laws!

Overseer, you wish to Abolish these Laws!

Officer, you seek to BREAK these Laws!

You’re a Murderer!

You’re a Criminal!

You Don’t try to Hide it.

It’s Not even Subliminal.

You Think it’s Funny,

when you Slam a brown Child.

You Justify out-right Man-slaughter.

You’re like an Animal in the Wild.

Overseer, it’s Time to put you Down.

Officer, it’s Lawful to Stand my Ground.

Overseer, you want to Lynch every Black man.

Officer, this will All be turned Around.

What’s going to Happen,

when it’s Your blood running Red?

Will you Brag to your Co-conspirators,

when You’re the one that’s Dead?

That Badge you Obviously stole,

is No longer a Symbol nor a Shield.

This Isn’t some Game you Play,

with that Imaginary power that you Wield.

Overseer, we are Speaking Loudly now!

Officer, we are Standing Proudly now!

Overseer, we are Gaining Ground right now!

Officer, you are just a Coward right Now!

You fire Racial slurs like your Bullets.

Expecting the Brown race, to just Take it.

We are Forcing new Laws in Congress.

I Assure you, we Are going to Make it.

Those Cuffs are now on Your wrists!

Those Prisions have become Your home!

Your Reign of Intimidation has come to an End!

Your Criminal acts, they No Longer can Condone!

It’s a Brand New Day and you’ve Run Out of Time.

Let us make One Thing perfectly Clear.

This generation won’t Stand idly by.

Officer, you will NEVER be an Overseer…

no matter How hard you Try!
