Same Tricks

6/7/22 It's the lamest I hate it All these snake pits Another rapist and racist You name it Still to this day it's The same tricks And same Don't tell me to watch my language Why's there always gotta be a bailiff and plaintiff Always fighting even when you're related For a reason pictures were created Dated artwork that was hand painted Demonstrated that opposition was decapitated Or incarcerated The cause of many outrages It all could not easily be predicted and calculated As it was stated This is accurately translated People often claim it And blame quick Sad that many became sick Surely it can't be fated I won't stand for it and take it I'll work to change it Not afraid of it, but willing to face it In order for myself and others to make it For far too long I've waited At times I really ate it For being one of the bravest At my lowest very far from my greatest Dang it This is the thanks I get It's time I shape shift Unable to trace it Still can't explain it All these tired faces Too many lives taken Annihilated In today's world hard to find peace and quiet places Endless noise No longer about toys Maintaining poise While working with different alloys Still looking for joy No need to be coy
