Rapid Fire

It’s the heat of the moment Which ignites into flames The burning passion That trickles down your veins Calling it love Until the lover deceives you Passing his blood While she provides the forbidden fruit It’s the blazing fire that’s spreading To eradicate the people still standing Who carries the burden of slavery and colonization From Africa to the Americas So stand up for the cause And put out the fire Until it glows into a small ember Protect yourselves before the fire ablaze Turn away from the chaos That runs through your veins Don’t grab the fruit Like the Serpent gave to Eve And Eve gave to Adam For him to bite into it Or you will get burnt By a rapid fire
