Free, when the last slave gave his sigh of relief
When that day arrived of the first Juneteenth
When we got the right to vote that we couldn’t use
When black women were no longer abused
By slave owner and son
When the Civil War was won
When we woke up to “woke” being attacked
When all the spineless snakes still backed
The coward who had his henchmen kill Capitol cops
When Sherman set fire to all Confederate crops
When gaslighting got politicians their props
When stop and frisk was all about stops
When this world became a post-racial paradise
When gold is worth less than a bowl of rice.
