Independence day is a joke. There is no independence in America for the color folk.
Land of the greed, home of the new slave, losing our lives to a minimum sentence or wage.
A modern age, where they legally demean our communities, but a law doesn’t mean you’ve kept your hands clean, on the contrary.
How can we esteem a country, where a money machine behind the scenes has more rights than a human being?
Summertime, burgers, bikinis and beers, a 4th of July recess from our day to day fears. While rich and guilty yields a better consequence, than a poor man’s innocence, a fucking celebration doesn’t make any sense.
For pillaging our foreign policy’s diligent. Destabilize a country, vilify the fleeing immigrant.
How are all men created equal? When being muslim makes you evil? When being born black is lethal?
Star spangled barbecues, but ICE roams free? Soldiers die overseas, but enemies act federally? Profiting off mass detainment and incarceration. No surprise when genocide of natives and enslavement birthed a nation.
Pledging allegiance to tyranny, and corporate villainy, white supremacy and funding of police brutality. The USAs reality; wealthy from black and brown casualties
Independence day is a joke.
