What is our plan

Location

  Another black man has fallen victim to the hands of the white man

  If you can, look past the smoke, deafen yourself to the screams and shouts

  Can you see the hate?  Up there, just drifting just above the fiery slate.

  Do you see what’s going on here?  Not yet?  Look past  the man in black and white with the dog do you see the woman holding the sign I know the writing is fine but it says it is time, time for change

Now you see  this is a warzone.  Another war based on the disgrace of the black race to the white man.  Shall we ever overcome?  The black the white the hate the fight it all persists though we insist it’s a thing of the past. Though we cannot shake the cast of the trees the rope the hangman’s dope will we ever walk hand in hand or will this scene repeat once more across the land,

 What is our plan?
