America’s Pride



Tunnel visions kill, the Black Lives they don’t matter

In the back, head, heart, reload, a bomb and slaughter

My hands are up, don’t shoot, pow! pow! pow! Anyway

America’s doom, will be racism, injustice and inequality.

Willie Lynch got a gun and some house niggers too

KKK in black skin who’ve sold out their own race

Blood on their hands for making sure of a tight noose

Prime example: Ben Carson, the Trumps spade of Ace.

The biggest lie of all was the one born before me

After they killed all the Indians, except, maybe three

Put drugs in the neighborhoods to start their demonic plan

Then set things up completely against the unarmed Blackman.

Black Wall Street, Rosewood, examples of hate

Emmet Till, Trayvon Martin, Walter Scott, holdup wait-

16th street Baptists Church, the Charleston Church massacre

Babylon’s mystery shows all of us the pride of America.

Her biggest honor are the ones behind the badge

But when the tides turn, it’s like, extra catastrophic

Much more than those who continues to be killed, lynched

Yet it’s so different compared to her motto, how ironic.

But an ex-slave got the answer and know that they looked

What’s crazy is that he turned it all around in his book

If they could they’d hide it, and or sell it with a hook

This is what they do, they are the taker, the f-ckin crook.

It don’t even matter, see, it’s me against the world

I fear none but God, my message, for boys and girls

You read this, bear witness and still don’t support it

Only in these United Snakes are Black people divided.

The rest of the world is mad, a product of her fruit

But here, Abrahams seed still don’t have a damn clue

They’re killing each other, it’s all part of her plan

Guns, diseases, ignorance, Blackman vs Blackman.

Wickedly wise, sardonic, skillfully to divide and conquer

What’s worse is gang-banging stupid mutha-f-ckers

Hidden Colors 1, 2 and 3, violence trending worldwide

They can’t even tell that they are also, America’s Pride.

About this poem

If you’re scared then you need to leave now, This is no place for cowards. Some people were told to shut up and they did because they scared. Some people sold out and got paid, power, and or position.

Fighting for those faces you see and don't see on the websites: THE ARK PROJECT LLC THE BEEP INC. BEEP BLACK WALL STREET BOOKS I'm Muslim, I'm Black and I'm American so I guess I have three strikes against me LOL. I'm here reaching out to those concerned about the great divides that no-one wants to address and I'm here to address them head-on (Social Injustice, Islamophobia, Systematic Oppression, etc...). I am the author of this book: "Oh, Say Can You See!?" (Secrets) & Truth Is In The Art which shows how passionate I am about what was done and what continues to be done and ignored. Poetry is as a result of my life experiences as well as my opinions. They are my studies of the scriptures while paralleling them with history along with the present day's crimes against humanity, by those that claim to govern us. Keep in mind that my love for this country is beyond measure and incomparable. However, there are principles that a person ascertains to and therefore must stand upon. more…
