I tend to think lady liberty is blind from a crooked system deep within.
Also she tends to be harsher on those who have a little darker skin.
Years later I'm still feeling her effects with the constant storms and hale.
Think about it how does a minority race take up a majority of the jail cells.
Land of the free, home of brave.
Built up by torture and capture along with the entrapment of slaves.
And once you set them free you label them as being less than a man.
Add in implication of Jim Crow laws in a large unethical plan.
Segregation was legal followed by discrimination.
Tie it in with institutionalized racism what a melting *** of a nation.
How do you stop the movement of those when it come to being black.
Import drugs into the ghettos and have them strung off of crack.
Written back in 2015 from a dark spot in me
