Father of Two


I don't know the story behind the fake bill

I know we all shared a society 

coping

poorly with fears of a killer virus

the shutdown exposed how bad it can be

if you aint' got insurance

savings

credit

and now

no work for who knows how long


It was a COVID-19 story


I'm going go the store

did I mention he was black

in a place where the rules of 

organized injustice apply


no way


you can't be black and in lockdown

and try to pass a fake 20


not for any reason at all

not when The Man

can put a knee to yer neck

and suffocate the life outta you


In The Name of the Law

and

In fulfillment of fake justice.
