You can't run from accountability

We know your game 
And we are not going to become slaves to it
We've seen you spin your lies like a spiders Web 
Your crimes of deceit will come back to smite you
The heavens will rain down on you
There is no escape from eternity

Hear these words said
Let them infest your head
Your silence will betray you 
Days will turn to nights
Insomnia will plague you 
Like darkness it will consume you
The weight of your actions will crush you
The pain you've inflicted on black people
Will come back to haunt you 
Forever waiting in the shadows to spook you 
You will know no peace in life and death
This is a promise
A warning 
And a threat 

What you've done to my people 
Is inexcusable

I pray all people live in the light of God’s love and love others around them. This is a great emotive write.
