Politicians send troops
To overseas commitments
Wondering
Are our soldiers
Really fighting
For any real reason

Political status
Don't mean **** anymore
Listen
Can you hear
The masses of silence
Screaming

Now ask yourself
Who hurt who
Who shot who
Malcolm, Martin, even Kennedy
But who's to blame
For these trifs

Governmental conspiracies
Like experiences at Tuskegee
Robbing minorities of health
Eventually killing
Spinal taps
Causing death

It's sad no one wants to listen
When Cries
of multitudes
Falling on def ears
Hearing troubles souls
Screaming

Lasting more then 6 month
More like 40 years
Their cries have been ignored
How soon we forget
Horrors of past events
1932 to 72

Being told
This is a treatment
Syphilis was taking its cores
Lying to patients
Who believed
Governmental schemes

Turned into Lab rats
Injecting needles for spinal taps
Lumbar punctures as they call it
Extracting fluids from vertebrae's
Willingly they took risks
Not knowing that lies over shadow truth

Headaches
Damaged spinal nerves
The out come Death
How many have died
400 ill patients
Reduced to a few by 72

Yet they say
Science
Had to take its
Course
Just like myths
I have dream

MLK sent to his grave
Never being able
To see his dream
Come true
Sadly I watch
How dreams dissipate
