Oh say can you see
the white supremacy
and the eternal pride
in endless genocide?
Indigenous lands
Ripped right from their hands
Settled and colonised
Then more murder and lies
Oh say does this truth irk you in any way?
Not the land of the free
But a giant mass grave.
(A response to as well as an extension of Jill Scott’s version of The Star-spangled Banner and very much inspired by her performance thereof at the Essence Festival in NOLA in July 2023)
