Deaf Ears

I shout hoorah hoorah!

But my voice has never been heard/

Should I join the herd? Am I just another black man or better yet

just another nigger? / Should I complain or put my hands up

when confronted by the metaphoric trigger/ of hate and prejudice/ I have no money but yet

I live in the Beehive state where it seems WHITE get all the

Honey! I don't have justice, all i have is faith and hope to educate myself and not be stuck in the

system. I'm tired of running. I WANT MY VOICE TO BE HEARD!
