Making What's Strange Normal, and What's Normal Strange

Kwame Ture said that capitalism makes what's strange seem normal, and what's normal seem strange,
For those who first hear that, it may sound deranged,
But if you think about it clearly, there is much logic to that thought,
People sell snake oil, steal our resources, and their support won't stop,
While others struggle with integrity, give everything, ask for nothing, and we treat them like they came from a lepers lot,
We glorify cowards, manipulators, and liars, as long as the system says they are stars,
While we refuse to respectfully acknowledge those who demonstrate everyday that they are one of ours,
We strive to integrate into a backward system that is maintained on our backs,
While we reject true justice and ignore true facts,
We refuse to seriously study, opting out for quick social media sound bites,
Then we get mad when we get called out as ignorant, we won't challenge the enemy, but for that truth we want to fight,
We say we will do what's right, and build to make a better day,
But, then the minute there is a problem or issue, we are quick to quit and be on our way,
We are good at casting blame, and with this, our mark is always precise,
But, when it comes to self reflection, we struggle mightily, and permit arrogance to suffice,
Still, in spite of these contradictions, which Brother Kwame spoke of all to well,
We are still here, still fighting, still strong, so let's prepare to give the enemy hell!
Let's practice patience with one another, let's learn to forgive and stay strong,
Let's reserve our anger and frustration for the enemy, who deserves it all day long,
Let's dedicate a new time, and a new day, for doing what's right,
And let's understand it will take time for us to build correctly, and get it right!
