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
