"we hold these truths to be self evident
that all men are created equal"
if all men are created equal
then how come
men were treated like property
always sunk into poverty
faced with such inequality
no chance for scholarly
credentials or a standing in the economy
never ever given a shot at success
stopped from owning business
or express themselves, when we try to influence
The zeitgeist of society, show signs of progress
nevertheless, we regress
the corners of the country still act like nothing has changed
generations raised on flawed principles, we need to update
and adapt to the new beat of the culture, stay sync with the tune
rhyme on the same rythym as everyone else
think different.
four of fifty people still reject me, call me a defect
because i'm an ugly splotch of paint in their reality
they call me a ******, a *****, their words reflect
their jealousy, fallacy in their faces
think different.
