THE ANTHEM

by Twan - Aries

DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE
rodney king is no long a martyr
now he's a criminal
cause he can get away with swearing at a cop
but this still reeks of something
the anthem of the black man
how its just racism that defeats him
so he won't try to fight it
maybe if he let his mind sort it out
he'd get further than he is right now
yes, they hire whites faster than blacks
but you gotta make it work for you
you've begun to sing the anthem
where will it get you?
you get nowhere
fast
listening to the fast lane drag you away.

Reason for writing:

    certain people who shall remain nameless
