Unequal America
“We Hold These Truths To Be
SELF-EVIDENT;
That All Men Are Created Equal...”
But not in The United States of America!
Not today,
Not in 1775,
Not after 620,000 American souls were snuffed out
In the Civil War;
Not after Brown v. Board;
Not after the (supposed) death of Jim Crow;
Not after two terms of a man wearing a Brown suit in the Oval.
If not now, when?
When will the life of one
HUMAN BEING robed in a BROWN SUIT
Be worth
The White,
The Blue?
When will:
Black lives,
Brown lives,
Female lives,
Be EQUAL
Be RESPECTED,
Be fully AMERICAN?
When will it be SELF-EVIDENT to White men
that all Americans OWN our Republic;
All American have a stake
All American deserve the right to pursue
Life, Liberty and Happiness on EQUAL footing to them?
