Our World Devolving

Savage beatings Not within reason Rioting police lines Violence is in season A city gets divided Teens called this time A purge filled with crime Words by a mayor Incited Civil unrest Mass panic attacks While patience is put To the ultimate test Encroachments at its best Why are we waiting When even the mayor Wont stop complaining National guard called A state of emergency An entire city is walled Are all among the headlines I can remember when People used to morn Whenever someone had died Where are we going What are we doing Such ignorance and disobedience ensuing America is losing This is what happens When misunderstanding And lack of knowledge Meets deliberate provocation Chaos like thunder Tearing asunder Most people in wonder The others are running It's Bad timing And Who's lying Everyones wrong When people are dying Children are crying Parents subsided If we can't stand together Then why bother trying.
