"BLACK MAN:white AMERICA WANTS YOU DEAD"--BY MENELIK CHARLES ON FACEBOOK

Black man: white America wants you dead...

Greeting the police tonight? 
They're on your case alright

Going on a date tonight? 
Will the price be right?

Have you heard the word on the street? 
It’s where your blood daily seeps

Have you read the morning paper? 
They call it the ‘Daily Hater’.

You’re a 'no good Black man' is the nation’s refrain…
But are you to blame for this defame? 

If your heart translated what caused you pain, 
Would devils cease with their evil games? 

There’s a jail waiting for you 
You know this is true

There’s a grave waiting too
Is this why you feel blue?

Their hate for you, is never late for you…
It lies in wait for you

The 'boys in blue' point guns at you
Their hearts are full of hate for you…

Now life is but a Wake for you

Each successive Alaafin can see other Sangos except Sango Koso. It is said that the Alaafin cannot bow for anyone king including Sango Koso and Sango Koso cannot bow for Alaafin. On the arrival of this Sango, the Alaafin by tradition is expected to retire to his chamber as the two cannot reign at the same time.
