The Injustice of Their Justice
By Unique De Jesus
Today there should be no second guessing the lesson I’m professing,
I’m shining a light on who the government’s been oppressing,
And the job being done by the Human Rights Committee,
For lack of better words has really been shitty,
The government’s “War on Terror” created a generalized climate,
For the impunity for law enforcement officers and didn’t hide it,
This has contributed to the erosion of the accountability mechanisms we had for these agencies,
Our oppressors have always been foul, but now they’re allowed to do it more flagrantly,
Which has created a rise in government abuse and police brutality,
And now it persists unabated, undeterred, and unpunished nationally,
It’s opened my eyes, this is becoming a disaster to me,
PSST! “One nation under God” – that’s blasphemy,
The government is the biggest gang in our nation,
And the police are the henchmen that are the one’s defacing,
Their constitution, and without any retribution,
If you think about it, the whole thing is confusing,
You give a racist or bigot that much power, sooner or later they’ll abuse it,
And having politicians of color hasn’t made a difference, the system’s useless,
Regarding the case of Eric Garner, we all know what the truth is,
Who thinks this man should’ve died for selling a loosie,
I hope no one, because it’s clear cut abuse to me,
The government has made it one of their top priorities,
Whether right or wrong, to profile the young, the poor, and minorities,
But if we sit by idle and allow this kind of injustice to continue,
Not long from now, I could be Mike Brown, and Eric Garner could’ve been you.
