promises unfulfilled

Louisiana cops don't mess around
with niceties of evidence or law
unhesitating to gun a man down
until the video half the world saw
due process is a privilege of Whites
while Blacks get executed in the streets
for stuff as trivial as cracked taillights
lives lived under oppression by the heat
Loretta Lynch may act where Holder talked
to guarantee that rights apply to all
in Sanford as in Furguson he balked
as prosecutor, he just dropped the ball
the moral universe's arc can bend
if we press for real justice 'til the end
