Jackson Sometimes, I wonder about you Jackson how they raise your name how your claim to fame involved the abuse of so many others Justice, it smothers when applicated in improper ways not letting go of the tenacious notion that some are ordained to be slaves or ought to go back across the ocean Oh then, how would the fruits of the labor travel when the blood is in ground? Oh then, who would be next for hate whose freedom could be impounded? It still happens and still rather than integrate they'd rather move to the suburbs and intimidate It'd be easier to intimate it's no longer a struggle that exists rather than address it and bring a cease to the blows with hatred at a modern high and self-esteem at a modern low Too many people avert their eyes and with money in short supply it once again appears that Jackson rules the day along with the rest such as persistent stress opened flesh and petitions passing along with redress Grievances seem to matter less than disturbing of a peace that comes off as invalid unable to move towards a place of meaning no matter what we do Sometimes, I wonder about you Jackson but not for the reasons they usually do #nationalpoetrymonth #aaronglover #22of30 #jackson #writer #lyricist #poet #poetry #poem #thingsmisterhustleusedtodo
