My Synopsis


African-Americans, veterans that originated from the struggle To be considered as good Samaritans Recognize the repercussion for being admired For our respected character and advanced civilizations Caucasians, to be told the truth, began to kidnap the youth Which is the heart of any future, we are living proof Stealing our people, raping women, thoughts of blasphemy In 1885, they changed Africa boundaries Imagine royalty at its finest with loyalty Then suddenly robbed, transforming into insecurities Foreshadowing numerous acts of hatred toward other communities Sometimes I think, will there be another person Willing to have the courage to fight with peace? Put aside artillery, society is changing the youth once again I see that majority of my generation despise sobriety Will we be free as people and not slaves? Will there be another M-L-K Malcolm X? Or someone passionate in their hearts to Follow their commands, maybe a Rosa Parks Sitting in the seat assigned for us only They say there’s always an exception to any rule At least Ruby Bridges attended that school We invented so much, but little credit is given Even in the history books, this was planned By the white man, when teaching students about history Tell them about the Kings of Europe, but not mention the Queens of Africa? We will continue to fight for change, ever since they sunk our ship things have always been the same… Resist what tries to trick you, commit your life to finding the true meaning of these hidden clues many refuse to understand, if you do, you will have the upperhand, .. only if the whole globe could understand....man..
