Black Poetry : I Don't Care About America

[MRS. LADY]

Land of the free...
Home of the brave...
Dirty money is
"The American Way"

Nothing good comes from dirty money
Money is the root of all evil
Money has corrupted America
And money has corrupted my people

Home of the brave is home of the slave..
so how can I be free
When I feel that even the NAACP and Al Sharp
don't give 2 cents about me..

You want me to care bout global warming...
well I gotta feed my son
I didn't mess up this Coutry..
don't know how to undo what's been done

Spend my doe for Christmas..
nah, I'm heating up my home
Cause I had a man and he left me here
and I gotta do this on my own..

So what do I care about ....
I care about us first...
Black people.. my people
becasue we have always had it the worst!

So I will rise up..
meet with soldiers figure out how to help the Jenna Six..

So I will rise up..
talk to my sistah's and bothah's say our families need to be fixed

So I will rise up.. and say real bold..
America is not for me..
And the day I realized I'm fighting for us not them
is the day I was set free....

America.. America...
will always leave you scared...
So I don't put my faith in American or it's men...

I only put my faith in God......

And who is God... yea, he is the light.. he also is "I AM"
and "I AM" hiphop... HipHop rules.....

I know there's a few "soldiers" out there who understand!

Hi Miss Lady
Very tight flow.
What I enjoyed most about your poem is that you have a plan.
And that you're not letting the disappointment of what’s going on.
Stop you from do what you know and feel is best for you and yours

Peace~N~Love
