Brainwashed

I was placed here with no decision
Stamped with a number and placed in this division
With the remainder of one,
Which is unknown or just untold
Like the story of black savior
Unmarked not notified invalid
Like a Negro president to a pair of blue eyes
New lies are never told
Just old ones
Recast remodeled reshaped frozen into a solid
So that truth will never seep
To the unknowing these words I bleed
Seem so unique
Not blinded by false beliefs
Taught by false prophets for profit
All secrets unleashed
Unhidden unmasked
No longer stashed
In the words of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz
“Truth is on the side of the oppressed”
“A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything”
