Allegiance
Declare your allegiance in this separated world
Led by deliberate ignorance chomping on gold
Lining up for your turn based on your make believe sin
Punishments justified and blamed on your skin
Safe at their table where everything is pale
One hand grasps a gavel, the other the holy grail
Your existence an annoyance, a flea or a gnat
Demanding you retreat and scat like a rat
Freedom is preached in Red White and Blue
Only if your flesh holds no tinge of color or hue
