Society Suicide
Stuck at the bottom with no view of the top
My people are killing each other while other races come together
Loyalty lighter than the slightest feather
Casualty after casualty, so many getting blown away
Checking the staggering statistics has me lost for words
Arch rivals in this war of color
These hues lead to feuds
The cries of the oppressed cannot be ignored
The bell has been rung and the conversation vibrates
Battle is infinite and the war has just begun
Reaching, cocking, and pulling---
Don't assist them in their massive slaughter
And they tell us to forget the constant tragedies
How can we?
When the news carries disease filled words
Justice was a false allegation that lead to racial penetration
