Liberty Needs Glasses

excuse me but lady liberty needs glasses
and so does mrs justice by her side
both the broads r blind as bats
stumbling thru the system
justice bumbed into mutulu and
trippin on geronimo pratt
but stepped right over oliver
and his crooked partner ronnie
justice stubbed her big toe on mandela
and liberty was misquoted by the indians
slavery was a learning phase
forgotten with out a verdict
while justice is on a rampage
4 endangered surviving black males
i mean really if anyone really valued life
and cared about the masses
theyd take em both 2 pen optical
and get 2 pair of glasses

Tupac was a human right activist and he spoke for change amidst his youthful exuberances: He often spoke against Liberation and Justice, both of whom are blind as bats towards 'minorities.' This poem is simple and true and those who care should call up the system-opticians.

I concur they treated Tupac Shakur like he was the devil because of his rap. Tupac Shakur is an honest and respectful person. Even though he did something wrong and immature in the past years, he is still a caring and a peaceful person.
