Human Trafficking
Malcolm X said the black man
should protect the black woman
and respect the black woman
in this regard I do agree
but I want to take this subject to the next level
I want to talk internationally
about a subject called human trafficking
I want to talk about the ones who are most vulnerable
The women and children of the world
The boys who get traded and used as sex toys
The girls sold for less than nothing
The Natasha's of Russia and Eastern Europe
The child sex slaves in SE Asia
Thailand, China, Guam,
The dancing boys of Afghanistan, Philipines, even Vietnam
The wolves called pimps in my hood
underage black girls selling their bodies and souls in my neck of the woods
They call it the town, even the yay
It's just deep east oakland, northern califonia, the east bay
It's the town and we do that talk
It's the town and we do that walk
Justice has to flow
Righteousness has to stop by and stay
It just can't go
Justice must be served for the least of these
The world is full of killers, robbers, gangsta's and thieves
