DOWN THE RIVER

Who
Who sold US down the river when WE held up OUR end in helping them in their fight?
Who spoke like a friend but acted like a Judas?     
That traitorous kiss stung OUR cheek
Like a snakebite
Only far more poisonous!
Who claimed to be the Guardians of Civil Rights and then remained silent as WE were targets of racism?
Who could've filled the streets nationwide to destroy Goliath 
But instead left the slingshot at home?
Who heard the song of oppression and smiled instead of crushing its voice?
Who sold US down the river when WE held up OUR end?
