Keep Quiet

The nights are cold but still the heat is on mourn for who? Why seek ye the living among the dead you been fed so why let the hungry starve everything has a price an arm and a leg is what freedom cost Laws were meant to be broken by the very men who claim to uphold them the most America is no democracy it's hypocrisy has been seen from beyond the seven seas please spare me the cliche dreams that my country men strive and work so hard for, to save millions of dollars that we wont spend, so self righteous and westernized we don't recognize our own sin, our problems we wish em away drown em out sorrows and cast them out in some recycling bin The flesh is tainted, lust is never satisfied even what you see is far from correct and because we fail to ask why or look in the mirror we overlook the number one suspect turn our heads away from domestic genocide but cry for justice when the victim is black or white let's have a candle light vigil for those of you who remain quiet instead of making sure these criminals get indicted
