From a secure launchpad            
          private monies fire
two white men into space
          their rocket slick black-and-white
The President shows up            
          to boast
what he calls
          an all-American-made victory  

On the streets          
          flames and fury
white cops have murdered
          another unarmed black man
flat on the ground with a brutal knee pressed
          against his neck
until with his last breath
          he calls for his mama in heaven
