Blood of a slave, intelligence flowing through the veins, heart of a king <br />From king and queens to a deprived race, all is left are outcast and crack-feens <br />Keeping you strong physically but stripping you of a mind, mentally weak <br />Crippled in the soul for being called an animal, working forcefully for free <br /> <br />Makes it hard for people to digest, this as close as blind gets <br />Slavery and segregation is over now it’s time to advance our mindset <br />Old vs. Young and Light-skin vs. Dark-Skin <br />Falling into the trap while the demons just grin <br />They were ignorant and had hatred beneath their skin <br /> <br />The young need the old for wisdom beyond their years <br />The old yearn for the young to be great but their attitude is smeared <br />Love instead of envy, gospel tunes and scriptures fed me <br />They rather watch you fall than catch you <br />Lay the fallen where the bed should be <br /> <br />We all lay and reside in the same nest <br />Our race is a complete utter mess <br />If we finally overcome, God bless <br />Finally our ancestors can rest<br /><br />Leland Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lynch/
