Social Shackles with Dashun Cathcart (@justicethepoet)

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE televised....
However the evolution of our society will continue to be chastised for remaining stagnant...
While minute fragments of the “Dream”, the vision and the Talented Tenth still exist, our minds continue to remain absent.

Absent from the truth of the lies
Of dreams not quite deferred but dreams revised
Because in today's world there is no Black pride.
Only selfish egos that will do anything to get televised.
So they tell lies
And distort our culture's vision. Bringing nightmare to the dreams that Dr. King had once envisioned
And what's missing is the knowledge
Of what makes our people strong
So they just say YOLO, work for solo
And lead the children wrong.

To the point where their minds are gone
Misled by the mystique while being spoonfed the utter critiques of the media.
Living in illusion and shrouded in confusion
because of their blind assumptions that everything that they see on TV is reality
While they fail to see past the mist into the fallacies of those trying to deteriorate their mind while the blind continues to lead the blind

Not blind in the sense of sight, but blind morally from what's right
Blind to the knowledge...that life is deeper than Concords

But they turn blind eyes to anything
That isn't wrapped in a rap verse
And remain blind to the realization
That rap makes these facts worse
So these blind cannot see the revolution

But CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Please...
Let's find a resolution
