Old Jim Crow

 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
