Darkness

I am not talking about color By the way any color can be dark Including white, that's right Darkness can mean horror Death, cruelty, murder, violence Chaos, evil, Satan and intolerance Brutality is a form of darkness Racism is a form of darkness Deceit is a form of darkness Invasion is a form of darkness Darkness does not happen only at night Darkness can occur under the light Of the day, when the sun is shining The parrots talk and sing Parrots are birds too And pirates were never good People, but crazy fools Who use all types of tools To attack and kill for food Fortune and gold. They sue For no reasons, because they lie Like frying oil and they will get by By any means necessary They're no different than brutal offenders They are violent insurgents and vile rioters Darkness comes at anytime Darkness is a serious crime I see real darkness live on TV Where darkness destroys liberty Spits and soils the constitution No, that was not a revolution That was a modern coup d'état That was the invasion of darkness I saw weeping, with my eyes, America The Beautiful. That was a disgrace Many people wept and I wept too That was shocking, crazy and new I saw horror and darkness That was an abhorrent mess Darkness under the Capitol's light Has nothing to do with black and white Greed is a terrible cancer Racism is a hateful danger Darkness has no fear for the sun Darkness fears no laws and no one.
