How long will you sleep 
and let the politically corrupt 
be the authority
continuing to let them rule the 
black majority
watching them place toe tags 
on your brothers
while forcing your sisters into
poverty
living out of bags
wearing used and torn rags
how much longer will you go
without protesting for the
freedom that we are
still waiting for
believing that they will protect you
when everyday their murdering 
your soul
because you continue to give them
full control
how long will you sleep
