RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN JUSTICE
Old Jim Crow
Old Jim Crow is alive and well
He resides in the highest court
Where Uncle Tom pounds a gavel
And civil rights earns stiff retort
They killed the Voting Rights Act
Discrimination does not exist!
But designer districting is a fact
You can’t vote if you’re on their list
Louisiana has one black congressman
Alabama has one as well
If you’re black and vote in Florida
They just might put you in jail
Maybe someday we’ll say goodbye
But that day has not arrived
When the Court is in your pocket
The rule of law is a lie
