Political Pinocchio
Political Pinocchio killed my black friends
My family
Though I wasn't surprised
Another day with dark skin
I sipped my tea
Political Pinocchio has never liked people like me
Dark skin
Kinky hair
Squishy nose
Melanin
Everyone is born equal!
His nose grew
Mistrust, Misguidance
That is what he provides to youth
Following me, digging a hole in my mental health like a cavity in my sweet tooth
Destroying our communities or trying to pick up the pieces?
Political Pinocchio wants to destroy my blackness
But it's only to "protect America"
War on drugs!
His nose grew
The youth growing up with no rehabilitation
Mass incarceration
No respresentation
Her child was taken
From her, her only child
Death in police custody
No punishment
Privilege
White Privilege
This has always been
Everyone is equal!
His nose grew
We must make America great again?
When was America great?
For Freddie Gray
For Sandra Bland
For Philando Castile
For Black America
Fists up
