Fruition
The real America is thrust in the face of the transgressor
He who sees
The truth that screams
LISTEN!
But because we live our lives anxious to please
They who are the pilot
Egging on the violence
Pushing us into silence
Each day, Each hour
So one less nigga
Can breathe in a better life
We must remember that we are the foundation
The first nation
We are all we need to survive
The real America
Where yesterday a man was shot
Where a pregnant woman ducked down when she heard
That glock pop
The real America
Who came and who conquered
Who enslaved and who abolished
Who oppressed and who taunted
Those
That other. Who?
Never
Belonged
The real America
Home to the Black
Foot that treaded it’s lands
Cultivating its culture
Sowing the seeds of a future
Which never had a chance to
Be- Come,
Again
The Native America
