THE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE OF BLACK PIGS (2022)

A Pig is a Pig

Yesterday a Black guard
puttin’ on for white pigs

Helped beat a young Black prisoner,
And cover up what they did.

Today she talkin’,
“Yet another unarmed kid”

“The only thing he did,
Walking home being Black”

“Was targeted by white cops
Shot six times in the back”

Thinking of her child at school:

“Will he make it back?”

“Will he slip through the cracks?”

Which does she identify with,
being a pig or being Black?
