The Same Old Slavery

A Bench full of Criminals enforcing Racial laws,

those for Blacks and those for Whites.

Which ones do You follow?

Which do You consider Right?

They raise their Right hand,

to tell the whole False truth.

But this Isn’t really about Them,

it has Always been about You.

Their truth is White selective,

Especially for Blue detectives.

They are given a Green light to Lie,

they Speak as if they are Respected.

“Raise your Right hand Black sir,

to Submit to my own Judgment.

Be you Guilty or Be you Not,

You’ve come to the Wrong spot.”

“In here I am god,

what I say is what Goes.

My Congregation is who will Judge you,

12 angry men made up of your Foes.”

You can not Speak for yourself,

in there you have No legal Rights.

The’ve Appointed someone to Represent you,

Yes, he is obviously White.

Your Hangman will speak First,

to Appease those with a Bloody thirst.

With Glazed over eyes like Snow,

they are just There to watch the Show.

He brings Fiction as Facts,

your Character he will Attack.

He will Dance around the Truth,

and bring up Irrelevant acts from your Youth.

Your Appointed will Attempt to object,

to try and Keep you off Guard.

The Outcome they’ve already Decided,

one more Inmate for the Prison yard.

Don’t you know it’s a New day.

They’ve got a New kind of money making Slavery.

You couldn’t have Thought you were a “Free man”.

You have Seriously underestimated their Depravity.

Their Onslaught of blatant Lies,

goes Unchallenged by your Defender.

He is their Puppet he is their Lap dog,

he is Only just a Pretender.

Now, it’s His turn to Speak,

his Opening remark is very Weak.

Within Minutes he is Done,

He pretty much Handed them a smoking Gun.

“But wait, what about My side of the Story,

don’t you Want to know the Real truth?

I’m being Railroaded and Shot in the Back,

My defender is John Wilkes Booth.”

This is a Circus!

There is no Justice!

The Court system is a Sham!

All of this is Useless!

Now, it’s time to hear their Decision,

the Crowd goes silent with Anticipation.

The Judge is handed a piece of Paper,

“Is this your Verdict my congregation?”

A White man stands and says “Yes”.

“So speak It to hear Your truth.”

“Guilty, your Honor on All counts,

we Never even Needed any Proof.”

“Bailiff, take him to a Holding cell,

he will Fetch a Pretty penny.

There will be an Auction to see which Prison yard gets him.

He was Given 10 to 20.”

This is their Daily ritual,

to Return the Slaves back to the South.

The Verdict will spread like Wild fire,

no longer Just by word of Mouth.

“So Brothers, stop and think Before you act,

it is the Color of your Skin they will Attack.

The Cotton fields have been Replaced with Prison yards.

They’re still Money to be made off your Back.”

Overseer …. Officer

Cotton fields …. Prison yards

Auction blocks …. Court rooms

Klan lynchings …. Police Beatings

Tell me, Where is there a Difference?

Prove to Me, this Isn’t that Same old Slavery… Coming right Back!
