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
