Stop Trying to Suppress Us

They coming in our classes

Trying to paint over the mirrors and glasses

Changing all the literature

Making it what they want; their architecture

They trying to suppress us

Holding our votes and words against us

They don’t want to help us

Going on television blaming us; causing a fuss

Got [people] about to cuss

We don’t need their words

They need to stop trying to suppress us

We [people] can stand on our own

But we need them to protect us; not leave us alone

They don’t want to help:

Black

Latin

Asian

Jew

We are all different, giving something new

In this world, in this continent, called America

They try to suppress us

Turning us against one another

Fighting our own brother

Not the real enemy: the suppresser

It was us who held them up

Giving them what they wanted

They just took it and turned their nose up

Leaving us wanting

Jobs

Life

Better Healthcare

All the like

They are the joke

They play  us like a musical note

The suppressors

No one will sequester

Them: hold accountable

For their lies

Deceit

Propaganda

Bigotry

 They protect their interest: the rich

Ship our jobs overseas: ain’t that a bitch

They bring hate to the table

They tell the world we are unable

To:

Work

Take care of ourselves

Learn

Educate

And validate

But they take away our freedom

Voter suppression

Media demolition

They need to stop suppressing us

Like Michael Jackson said,

“They don’t care about us”

I sit here; I regress

My mind has too much to say

The visuals, too much to play

So all I have to say,

No vitriolic intentions

Just words from an American citizen

“Stop trying to suppress us.”
