Race Riot

Race Riot Race Riots don’t start in Baltimore quiet Silence is not what they seek Innocence stripped naked in childhood Oppression festers in neighborhoods disease Not genetically engineered in labs Pharmaceuticals have a hand some say To fire the imagination, inflame bigotry Revolutions begin in fear, form with the youth on streets Young men find abuse as a way of life No future, no truth of any use Oppression germinates, grows in the dark like tar Spreads on the heart contagious as black butter The plague is far from over It prays on black and white furious waters poison Sour behavior feeds with flies and maggots, garbage and decay Race riots take place silent in the mind at first End in a pool of blood or something worse
