Stand

Stand up and stand out Speak up or show out Witness turned Accomplice With Silence Seeking Peace But met with violence Will it end will stop It’s been years maybe not Marching for centuries Didn’t deter the deaths or injuries Of the innocent Racist malevolence Prevailed like prejudice People In high places Full of hate and envy Based on races Time to change this Systematic racism Tradition has been tragic Countless closed caskets Conservatives won’t admit it What’s “White Privilege”?
