Marissa Johnson got in Bernie's face
restraining him from speaking to his crowd
as if he were insensitive to race
and must be muzzled or shut down or cowed
that Black Lives Matter is self-evident
'though many cops treat them with disregard
the straight clear Rule of Law's been warped and bent
and must be righted, no matter how hard
Ben Carson's swarthy face can't buy him cred
he preaches that victims earned what they got
as week by week young Black men pile up dead
and day by day more innocents are shot
just throwing bombs can't make the system just
until it makes allies, BLM's bust
