    Independence Day
    By. Kellen Bell

    Fuck the 4th of July
    Most blind in they 3rd eye
    From genocide to apartheid
    Steady telling lies of freedom

    Freedom my ass
    Free to be harassed
    , put on full blast
    Free to take an ass kickin and keep on tickin
    By the boys in blue suits meant to protect you
    You call this free, when if you the same color as me
    You more than twice as likely to be in police custody

    Only Independence I see is in court
    When your appointed lawyer sit back
    Shaking his head, agreeing to all the shit that the prosecutor said
    Its sad but true, due process we not allowed access unless
    A skill we possess makes the white man rich.

    Liberty? When I can’t choose the school my child attends
    when society chooses my friends, when I have to cross 8 mile
    to make my ends meet, when I get pulled over by the police for turning down the wrong damn street.

    You say that we free, I say we in the worst of slavery
    Mentally we haven’t been set free since we rely on the mercy
    And kindness of the one who originally blinded and binded us
    Its hard for me to trust the boy inside the man cuz at any given time

    His mind just might rewind back in time
    And he’ll think its fine
    To do what he pleases and you want me to pledge allegiance?

    thanks ppl,
    Kellen
