My Fault

Location

Its not my fault society is built on race and dollar signs but not education and books,

It’s not my fault I have to tell my son to close his eyes when the television is on,

Seeing negroes bleed shot, lynched, burnt on the same cross Jesus died on,

Its not my fault my son has to live a life as if he was Zimmerman,

watching his back because its whites shooting negroes in broad daylight as if its hunting season,

All money isn't good,

They always say these racial slurs about blacks being thieves and criminals of men but white men rape black women as if it’s a holiday. We’re not good enough for your business but we can clean your floors?

We’re not smart or eligible to write books but you can steal our ideas?

We’re all created equal to a Limit,

The Declaration of Independence is a lie,

No one can be happy if they cant do what makes them happy,

You cant be happy if your master is fucking the happiness from your wife,

You cant be happy if you losing faith in God,

So fuck the Declaration,

What about honest,

You take away everything from us to feel powerful and wicked but really your just another soon to be slave in hell,

I always asked God where can people get so much hatred and abhorrence from and now I see what the devil can do to simpleminded people,

So tempting to shake his hand but is it really worth it?
