Be Free (freewrite)

Obama you're not to blame
For the way things are during your time of reign
But I will say ever since you signed your name
On this country
More oppressors became day walkers
And intensified their hate for us
In broad daylight plotting graves for us
Guess that's the only way the roles will ever be reversed
And THEY actually slave for us
Suit and tie swag or pants sagged
Don't move, put up your hands, blast
Whether you're a troublemaker or honest man
Whether you're Bobby Shmurda or Sandra Bland
In their eyes you're bland
On one hand Mohammed I understand
Your lack of compassion for the theory "We're all human"
Either they still lack compassion for us
Or I'm blind and we're all stupid
Kill our people
Free to walk another day
Zimmerman's gun just made him over 200k
They really gave that gunĀ such high value
The only time for them that Black lives mattered

Much appreciated man, thanks so much! This is inspired by a song called "Be Free" by a rap artist names J. Cole. You should definitely listen to it if you haven't heard it before

The only thing wrong about this sort of poetry, is that we don't have enough of it.
