lingers time.
That place where tickling of clock

where snow drifts on benches white.

when mind is tired,
trying to embrace old age?

excuse me but Lady Liberty needs glasses
and so does Mrs. Justice by her side
both the broads r blind as bats
stumbling thru the system
justice bumbled into Mutulu and
trippin on Geronimo Pratt
but stepped right over Oliver
and his crooked partner Ronnie
justice stubbed her big toe on Mandela
and liberty was misquoted by the Indians
slavery was a learning phase
forgotten with out a verdict
while justice is on a rampage
4 endangered surviving black males
I mean really if anyone really valued life
and cared about the masses
they'd take 'em both 2 pen optical
and get 2 pair of glasses

both the broads r blind as bats
