See the Blood

SEE THE BLOOD See the blood flow on our nation’s sands The blood is on our government’s hands When a piece of garbage starts to cry Bigots are told stand down and stand by See the blood flowing in our streets Drummers drumming to different beats No one wins, we all lose Death toll announced on the nightly news See the blood at the murder scene Hatred preached since two thousand sixteen No remorse as he watched the fall I take no responsibility at all See the blood on the Capitol lawn Dictator at home cheering it on Degradation since the first debate Demeaning remarks and spreading hate See the blood as a mother cries Truth is twisted by bigoted lies Politicians do whatever they choose While the leader spouts it’s all fake news See the blood on the evening news To our country another bruise Fall of a nation right on track When on social justice you turn your back See the blood pouring down like rain Stop the hatred, stop the pain Darkness overcome by light When we stand for what is right.

A lot of points to consider here Vince, yet it's Been the same through the ages in other eras The killing was mainly on battlefields as you Will know, it seems there has been a Suppression Of wars and an escalation of street killings Instead'
