Not Created Equal…

By Joyce Davis

They tell you all men are created equal, but I tell you it’s a lie

It’s like believing the words to the lyrics in a children’s lullaby

They are meant to put you to sleep with sweet dreams in your head

While they make sure you’re not woke while taking your innocence as you sleep in bed

All men are not created equal the truth is as plain as Black and White

It’s more about who you know and how to treat right

Fairy tales we tell the masses; we want them to feel at ease

To believe they have the same rights as those who palms have been greased

Our system picks and chooses who has rights as a citizen

Only the right amount of money gives you the right to criticism

A man can protest for BLM and be arrested the same day

Yet a president can lead an insurrection and not be detained in any way

Yeah, I must admit I believed that it was true

But being Black in America somehow jades you

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal”

I see no truth of this I should hold out for the sequel
