Stay Woke

Silence broken roaring sea of people that scream, Riot of police protect the peace when peaceful protest is violent, Rights to have rights being taking away they say most trying to live a false dream, Today the news told me My Religion is full of hate, When I was taught to give love to my Neighbors be humble to be Gold, Now there is war in the streets filled with hate, dividing the people to think what the box told them, wait! A free mind is dangerous they say so they tell you have mental illness to keep you chain, Wait! Lets wine back Pouring my thoughts in this glass to drink, Heading back to 1939 Trump the hitler of today, God bless AMERICA these stars are bleeding, The stripes being stripped away the land of brave lately the land of greed, Think before you say for your food of thought can be ate, Sipping the forbidden fruit stay woke when police arrived, Pupppies of the Puppet Master, now we wait. The Revolution is being televised today, Stay woke open your eyes today.
