Lady Liberty Is Weeping

Justice is blind and sleeping, Lady Liberty is weeping; We are lying to ourselves about the state of our society; Lurking like an ugly word broadcasted upon a neon sign, saying ‘Are you sure it’s safe for you? The people there are all Black.’ Under the guise  of inclusion May the fifth can’t sound Mexicano ‘Be careful with this party, it can’t be called ‘Cinco de Mayo’. Lingering like a broken refrain, We’re really all faking; Oh, we call it ‘Mediterranean’ we can’t say Afghan,Iraqi or Iranian; The country is reeling; Every single one of us bleeding, to show each other we are all the same.
