"lead poisoning"'s used euphemistically
to circumlocute deaths in a gang war
but Snyder saw a way to shave a fee
corrupting service to Flint's urban poor
lead plumbing irrigated Nero's digs
and under-laid New York's first cobbled streets
but now it's found unsafe for even pigs
for all intent and purpose, obsolete
that Black Lives Matter is self-evident
and so our constitution testifies
but when you trace how tax dollars get spent
that high-fallutin' language sounds like lies
'til Black and White are treated all the same
the Press must shine a light on Flint's rigged game
to circumlocute deaths in a gang war
but Snyder saw a way to shave a fee
