it’s so important to record
i sit here trying to record
trying to find a new profound
way to say
johnson is the vilest
germiest beast
the world has ever
known
in the alleged civilized
times
trying to record
how i feel about a
family
being wiped out
trying to explain
that they have nothing
against bobby
he’s a white
millionaire
several hundred times over
so it must be me
they are killing
trying to record
the feeling of shame
that we Black people
haven’t yet
committed a
major assassination
which very desperately
must be
done
trying to record the
ignorance of the
voices
that say
I’m glad a negro
didn’t do it
a negro needs to kill
something
trying to record
that this country must be
destroyed
if we are to live
must be destroyed if we are to live
must be destroyed if we are to live
