Poetic Injustices in AmeriKKKa Vol. 2

Poetic Injustices in Amerikkka: 'Justice Denied, Versified' is a raw, unflinching collection of spoken-word poetry and social commentary that confronts the systemic inequalities, racial injustices, and survival struggles faced by Black and Brown communities in modern America. Through powerful verse and visceral imagery, the author-known as Coolgmack-takes readers on a journey through the streets of Killadelphia, the blocks of Yonkers, and the corridors of America’s prison-industrial complex.This collection is divided into six thematic chapters that explore the interconnected issues of mass incarceration, police brutality, gentrification, addiction, health disparities, and the erosion of civil liberties. From 'School’s in Recession' to 'Tributes & Rising Through the Smoke,' each section builds upon the last, creating a comprehensive portrait of life in what the author calls 'AmeriKKKa'-a nation where the promise of freedom rings hollow for those trapped in cycles of poverty, criminalization, and oppression.The poetry doesn’t shy away from difficult truths. It exposes how the War on Drugs became a war on communities of color, how food deserts and fast-food chains contribute to health crises, how social media and technology serve as tools of surveillance and distraction, and how political systems perpetuate division rather than unity. Yet amid the harsh realities, there emerges a powerful message of resilience, self-awareness, and transformation.Coolgmack writes from lived experience-as someone who has navigated addiction, incarceration, homelessness, and the constant threat of violence. His voice carries the weight of personal testimony combined with the wisdom of someone who has studied the systems designed to break him. Whether discussing the mathematics of systemic oppression, the hypocrisy of justice, or the importance of self-love and community healing, his words serve as both warning and weapon, both mirror and manifesto.This is poetry as activism, verse as resistance. It speaks to the youth navigating streets where survival often means making impossible choices. It challenges readers to question everything they’ve been taught about freedom, justice, and the American Dream. And it offers a blueprint for breaking generational cycles-not through violence or resignation, but through knowledge, unity, and the revolutionary act of choosing oneself first.Poetic Injustices in Amerikkka: 'Justice Denied, Versified' is more than a poetry collection; it’s a documentary in verse, a wake-up call, and a love letter to those who refuse to be broken by a system designed to crush them. It’s for anyone who has ever felt invisible, criminalized, or forgotten-and for those ready to rise through the smoke and reclaim their narrative.Read less
