LIBERTY! FREEDOM! DEMOCRACY!True anyhow no matter how manyLiars use those words.

What happens to a dream deferred?

Cheap little rhymesA cheap little tuneAre sometimes as dangerousAs a sliver of the moon.

Now I do not understand Why God don't protect a manFrom police brutality.Being poor and black,I've no weapon to strike back--So who but the LordCan protect me?

O, let my land be a land where LibertyIs crowned with no false patriotic wreath,But opportunity is real, & life is free,Equality is in the air we breathe.(There’s never been equality for me,Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free.”)

Consider me,Descended alsoFrom theMystery.
