I do alot of wrong,

But for the right wrong they write songs and call them heros. but is a hero a man who kills a slave owner to end sorrows, or the white officer who kills a black man who really was a neighborhood hero. A man purposely, I mean accidentally killed. A black woman killed, i mean beaten, no slaughtered, wait mourned by her white husband. Our role models are in prison but our killers are free. The system don’t want me to have a gun, but its our fault when the system point guns at me. Then I wonder is a hero a man who cared for, feed, and housed his family, or is it a man who died trying to feed his family by any means even selling drugs. Malcolm, Martin, and Louis went down strong and didn’t forget their morals. Louis Armstrong taught us to have fun. Martin taught us to stand up. Malcolm taught us to fight back. Yet decades later it was Trayvon Who taught us not to accept. He’s a true hero but still if he’s a hero who’s the villain
