Why So Many Revolts?

Why so many revolts? Because of too many naughty assaults Too many vile and abominable insults Too much discrimination, anger, and nepotism Too many crimes, hypocrites, and too much racism The system has been a horror And very unfair, from day one Our ancestors have seen live terror From the coast, and on the plantation. You're still wondering? Why so many revolts? We've lived through countless deadly assaults And all sorts of nasty and nefarious insults You're still guessing? The cruelties are real The sufferings are real After so many years, we still feel The sharp bloody bites of slavery On us, on our entire body The shame is real and live We still experience it from five to five From seven to seven Earth is hell, not Heaven. The system killed abruptly Brother Martin The system upset sister Maya and all of us The system slowly and surreptitiously destroyed Nelson Mandela and other leaders. The pink Satan Is spreading rumors and fake news. We're revolting Stop wondering, and stop guessing.
