O America I weep for thee!
Land of the six shooter the M-16, AR-15, the sawed off
shotgun
Land where we shoot boys and teenagers if we feel at all
endangered—
And of course we
always feel endangered
by the hoodie-clad black boys,
Walking down the
middle of the street!
Land where racism so deep down yet so invisible to us
We can’t see what’s right before our eyes
Land where law is twisted to justify murder
O America, I weep for thee!
