Can we ever be free
In this White man's world are we really free? the whites own and rule it so are we really free. We have been enslaved and sold and raped ,suppressed and hung because of color of our skin. Although we have plowed their
fields alone with cleaning their house's then they bought an
sold an enslaved our souls along with our bodies and minds. Our struggle continues today now were stereotyped
because of our skin an appearance. And now in the future we are being gunned by the police and each other.
