Poetry Corner: Always Business Never Personal

Everything they’ve done was for the loot,

All their lies, propaganda, and misinforming myself and you.

Like Garvey said we’re a bunch of trees with no roots,

A people with knowledge of their history, origin and culture enough pain you feel blue.

Open your eyes 9 out of 10 times police altercate we’re victims because he shoots,

Anyone with a badge says he understands but not fully until you walk in our shoes.

I’m supposed to be quiet and obedient like Stacey Dash and that old Black officer coot,

I’m sorry not sorry sir I refuse obedience I cannot stay I break all your rules!
