Portrait of Justice

"Diversity" is the new "nigger."
"Equity" is old news.
"Inclusion" isn't in.
They tell us to go back.
Back where?
Back when?
When our backs were bruised, bloodied, beaten?
When Celia, Sally, and Recy were raped?
By white supremacists who were pure?
When we fought and died bravely abroad
And came home to exclusion?
You speak of "white genocide"---
And who is White?
The head of the NAACP?
Is it Italian? Jewish? Arab? Latin? 
Is it fixed or a fixture?
So, why the admixture?

End "End Racism."
Show us it was just for show.
Thank the small bigot.
Think not of Black History
As two Black Quarterbacks play.

Back by populist demand
And backed by the saddest cries
7 percent own most of the land
Apartheid is no luck, it's lies
Stolen land is taken from thieves?
Trump, Musk, and Rubio perpetuate the peace
Yet zero land has been seized.
80 percent own the smallest fraction
And apartheid aimed to divide
As the poor get poorer with no action
Where's American aid for the darker side?
If Ebola strikes, Trump maintains silence
Great---as long as it only kills blacks.
White farmer slayings? No proof of that violence
Truth Social is truly no facts.

Light, long-range, lethal...
First son of Dell from Davidson
With killer instinct on the floor---
Only silence stills the room...
The away crowds have no home
And the home crowds have found a way
Of helping you praise the power
Before the trigger's even pulled...
You can double team---he'll double down.
Championships, Olympics---he wins it all.
No stage is too big for this player.

Since stupidity should seem so bright,
Which vaccine would you supply
To Bryan Cranston or Walter White---
To Benjamin Jealous, you jealous guy?
The family name must make such plight.
You can't live up, and so you lie.
A "black" vaccine and "white" vaccine...
No shots! Now, shots...This genius sticks to his guns.
But African Americans are already between---
Made mulatto from owners and sons.
So how much of each should we get?
And how much of you will we regret?
And what amount of you will amount to
More than a bigot who only sees hue?
The answer, buddy, is clear---
You've discarded science in favor of fear.

Bullets bounce back off his chest
But that's not what makes this man the best
Not super strength, heat vision, or X-Ray
It's the fight Kent took to the KKK

The great Trump might demand to send him back
An illegal alien bound to attack
Intelligence is Trump's Kryptonite
"Don't make Clark black!" Oh, and Kryptonians are "white?"

If he was the same color as his descendant Ronan
Would he be America's bad omen?
And although gunfire can't kill the Man of Steel
That racist rhetoric might make him ill.

Einstein fought for civil rights
Yet "You're fired!" say hire whites
Those Einsteins will fan the flames
With lowly lies and baseless claims
How flabbergasted and tongue-tied
Am I to see this from a son of apartheid 
Race is a caste system to sever
The DNA that binds blacks and whites together
Go ahead and hire someone "white"
Who's passing right before your sight
All it takes is just one drop
Surprise, the fire will not stop
You turn tragedy to travesty
The plane crashed because "diversity?"
Gee, that's some logic, Mr. Spock
Lives lost and Elon Musk must mock
The smokescreen grows ever thin
Superficial as the color of skin
Most black Americans have white ancestry
And someone "white" can be blacker than me
Science has proven color doesn't define
Yet that eradicates your imaginary line
Color and competence---there's no correlation
Thanks for the hate to create your nationalistic nation.

Passing person passing by
Security gives a wink and "Hi"
But when he sees your color clear
He'll shadow you and follow fear

He'll be with you throughout the store
And in your head when out the door
But at least you've a new best friend
Who's always there from start to end

For those who've never had this happen
They're missing out on all the action
But the rest of us can thank the help
We'll leave a great review on Yelp!

A King is remembered while a tyrant rises,
Yet we will not let lessons past be forgotten.
One tries to divide through lies of crowd sizes,
And this Christian mocks and detests the different and downtrodden.
But the Black King's paternal line traced to Ireland and Scotland.

The crimes of slavery and Jim Crow---to King, they're forgiven,
Because he believed the words of Christ who had risen.
Meanwhile, the next Lincoln is inaugurated through hate and division.
Thank God he'll judge our character over our color.
And we've made progress from "Nigger" to "Other."

Cool, calm, collected---the greatest is Jayden
The young man with more mettle than Iron Maiden.
He passes with precision, and has the ball soarin'.
The top tier receiver catches clutch---McLaurin.

The underdog is over the hump and we're in the Promised Land.
We never quit, we uplift, upset, and Command.
They said it couldn't ever be done,
But we're the best we've been since '91.

That's why we win with the spirit of unison from Dan Quinn.
Kingsbury coordinates like chess again and again.
And we make tight plays seem seamless like Ertz.
So, 4th downs turn quickly to 1sts.
