His/story has always been written
in pencil so people can erase the facts
to fit their personal objectives;
therefore historical detectives are
necessarily needed to document the actual facts,
to give people the real(truth)
about past story's;
removal of myth and legend for political gain
and false acclaimed fame;
from 1955 to 2012,
Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin,
two innocents shot down by uncivilized civilians,
leaving mothers children-less,
causing fathers to lose self-respect
because they could not protect their nest;
dreams deferred because laws don't extract
the true facts until the people in power
begin to feel the pain of their loved ones
getting (clapped) shot face-down in the back
for walking from the store after purchasing
a drink and a snack;
they say that "times have changed",
but racial tension remains inflamed;
black hating black,
whites envious of the complexion,
but won't give up the connection,
brown put down because their unity is unbound,
did not show to work one Monday
and closed industries down,
yellow sells goods in the hoods
keeping their generations belly full,
who's truly the fools;
His/story is no mystery,
but without social,
economic,
and political literacy our DNA
will only be read about in history...
