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
