We’ve elected
An African-American president, he said
When right from day one
He declared him dead
Like the restorative justice
They’re moving ahead
To provide reparations
And put slavery to bed

While it’s true
That we’ve fought a Civil War
That in itself
Doesn’t even the score
Nor do the bills passed
That we can’t ignore
The remnants of slavery
Has still left us poor

150 years and slavery
Has passed
So why reparations, now
You well might ask
When you’ve reaped the benefits
Of that checkered past
It’s about time
That we place you on blast

Mitch McConnell is
The last one who should talk
When Merritt Garland’s nomination
He chose to block
To place a conservative
On the Supreme Court dock
Even someone
That the public could mock
