We all are just slaves from black to white, we all share a dreaded plight

By the greedy hands of the man.

We have been forced into slavery,

be it literally when blacks and Hispanics are forced into the industrialized prison complex that gives stockholders huge dividends as they give the dark skin people huge sentences at the same time rich whites cases for the same crimes get dismisses

Figuratively we all are victims to dreaded debt system of slavery,

can’t pay your mortgage maybe your bills,

welcome to financial hell,

as you become homeless and maybe jobless,

now you’re sleeping next to the people you used to give spare change to

By unlike the car companies and banks,

there is no Obama with bailout money to rescue us from our mistakes!

    That’s right. And for profit jails stick people in solitary for years on end.; And the racist capital punishment system has been all wrong from the beginning. And killer cops are everywhere. And neighborhood watch killers get off.; And the police don’t even get put on trial. And the police are fully militarized by now,and FEMA is building concentration camps allover the country. For whom are these jails being built? To protect the rich, in case of revolution. Just sayin’.
