Land of the free
Not for you
Or for me
Not for the homeless man, who
Can’t get a job because to get a job, you
Need an address
But I guess that’s not something we
should address
Not for the impoverished youth, both
Black and white
We could help them but instead
We fight
Over what’s
Right
Over what’s
Wrong
This whole, equality thing
Yeah, it’s taking too long
By the time there’s equality
Whether it’s for your
Gender
Race
Class
Sexuality
We’ll all be long gone
Land of the free
Not for the black men who are
killed without hesitation
Not for the millions of people part of
Incarceration
But sure let’s
Light some fireworks
Drink the finest wine while the
Underpaid
Immigrant maid
Works the whole entire time
