The 4th of You Lie !

The 4th of You Lie !

What to the American Slave is the Fourth of July ?

A day that reveals to him , more than all other days of the year
The gross injustice & cruelties of which he is the constant victim
To him your celebration is a sham , your boasted liberty & unholy license , your national greatness , swelling vanity , your sounds of
enjoyment are empty & heartless ; Your denunciation of tyrants
boast fronted impudence . Your shouts of liberty & equality are hollow
mockery , your prayers & hymns , your sermons & thanksgivings with
all of your religious solemnity , are to him mere bombast , deceptions ,
& pious hypocricy !
A thin veil to cover up crimes that would shame a nation of savages
There is not a nation guilty of more shocking or more bloody ,
than the people of the United States at this very hour
Go where you may , search where you will !
Roam through all of the monarchies & depotisms of the old world
Travel through South America , search out every abuse & when you
have found , lay your facts side by side of every day practices of
this nation & you will say with me that for every revolting , barbaric
& shameless hypocricy , America reigns without rival !

Words that are so apropos for today , brought to us from
our Blacnificent ancestor & endowed orator , Frederick Douglas !
Of whom the subsequent peice was inspired by

The Fourth of You Lie

To my fellow Afreekans in America
I word this with the sincerety of Peace
The acknowledgement of this particular holiday
is bogus at best , to say the least
That Revolution functioned as a Teutonic tribal apparatus
By no means was it meant to alter , our captured , cotton-pickin' status
Now let me exemplify , how history can be the anti-weapon
As you can read from the title , this day is crawling with deception

Our enslavers wanted us to fight for them in the Revolutionary War
In exchange , they would grant us freedom
Break the chains & heal the sore
But when the Constitution was framed , we were 3/5ths instead
So it amazes me how this red, white & blue shit , be going to y'all head
This patriotic pathology is profusely pandemic
Thank God my red , black & green immunity
Won't let me participate in it !

Can't you hear Western Psychologist & retail laughter ?
Chuckling , " mental genocide is replete with political disaster "
I have an urgent urge to smash the legacy of Crispus Attucks
Travel thru time , barbeque his ass & Kingford Kick em' in the buttocks
When the fireworks are over , in comes the residual cloudy haze
But the Blacks who lit the fireworks
Will relish the smoke (deception) & remain a slave !
