To Seek Results We Must First Find Them
We fight for the right to exist in masses, meanwhile the true revolution passes.
Exactly what is the cause you support? The same community you abort?
Just like a saint that preaches heaven, but raises hell.
A hypocritical supply that meets its demands as well.
Pledging allegiance to a rainbow flag that you won't even help stand.
Its a shame. But no one will say that they are the ones to blame.
They rather look down upon, frown upon. Rather act as if they are above when it's ground level
we all stand upon.
Have the nerve to denounce flamboyance, but we all are demanding equality.
Disgraceful barrels of arrogant oil is what overflows in the seas of our poor qualities.
You say you want to be able to marry, but you won't even tell someone you have an STD.
Yet you want the lawmakers to believe, that we can conduct ourselves as civil human beings.
I often find myself breaking down to my knees to pray, then left without words to say.
Left in a disarray. For we all need to be saved.
We say politicians are our enemies, but we should start examining within.
Start with yourself, with your surroundings, realize the definition of real friends.
In our community that word makes my soul cringe.
And that should not be. So how do we expect to have the world acknowledge our harmony?
When there is none really there to see.
Before we can get others involved, we have to invoke the power to reconstruct our OWN unity.
