Officer - Sir, Everything Hurts - Water
He was crucified for his pedigree (I weep)
BLACK
He begged for air, then water, then food ("Please, Sir ...)
ZERO
Look at the finely-dressed "soldier" (Serve? Protect?)
SOUL-LESS
I watched the execution-turned-crucifixion, and lost my
HUNGER
But I will eat again. I will celebrate America again. So will you.
REMEMBER
why why why why WHHHYYYYYYYYY!
