Freedom

Peter Yearwood

Are we really free?

Eye in the sky

Cookies

Social media eavesdropping

Internet of things

Looking for a place to live

Software is biased

Algorithms got black people over here

White people right here

Puerto Ricans over there

And the rest you can't even get to

How can we be free

If there is one for them 

And another for me?

Get arrested no money stay in jail

Got money get out of jail

Blue eyed man commits a crime 

Does little time

Dark skin man is served up like

A cheese line

Mother screams in excruciating pain

A child is born

Innocent, helpless

Blind to the ways of the world

Back in the hood

The child learns how to take cover

Before learning ABC's

They didn't ask for this

They inherited it

You and me 

We can fix this

Let us use technology

In a more positive way

Do not let algorithms determine our life

Because of the color of our skin

Science without humanity is a sin

Fix it 

So it serves us all fairly and justly.
