Poem
When hatred and fear become a fusion We live in a terrible land of confusion Watch the elite dogs all bark When they see the revolutionary spark The problem is our world is burning And the masses not caring is concerning The reality is intelligence is what they fear So they keep us dumb so we'll never be a peer Men gunned down relentlessly on the street It is through racial division we find defeat When we are locked in a war of brother versus brother It gives the elites an excuse for our rights to smother Let us be clear that it is not up for debate That you cannot defeat hate with hate This is the world we live in but is it worth fighting for And if we're ready to do battle for more For many existing day to day is just a pain So many with nothing to gain, so many slain When I watch the news it is with a heavy heart At how families can be so easily ripped apart Forever burdened by the deceased voices of the dead Damned to an evil system their souls were fed And those who remain are simply here to ask why We allow ourselves to live this atrocious lie The machine grows and promotes the groth of cancer And I'm not here to pretend as if I have the answer I'm just another guy trying to live out my insignificant dreams In a world that crushes the imagination of children it seems If we are ever going to defeat the greed Hope is something we need We live in a terrible land of confusion But it does not have to be the final conclusion
