The spiritual horror of psychological torture
When the mind slowly decays
It doesn’t just affect the mind
It affects the body, the spirit, the soul
The spiritual horror of psychological torture
Is how you treated black people
The way you penetrated our minds with accusations of inferiority
Treating us less than animals
Less than the dirt on your shoes
Generation after generation
You have tortured my people
Psychological punishment
One of the most harrowing types of torture
Slowly breaking down our psych
Until you wipe your hands of guilt
When we succumb to a forced suicide
When it was really your hate that held the gun between our eyes
You trapped us in a cage of hate
Behind the bars you built
Of a system used to oppress
Forever encased in a room of solitary confinement
Leaving us to drown in the silence of your actions
Eternally haunted by the burdens of your violence
How about you stop projecting the insecurities you try to ignore
And face the damage of all you have done
You will not win the battle
And you will not win the war
The lies you've installed
Into those privileged, ignorant soul
I hope they will follow you
And haunt you forevermore
And when the time finally comes
I hope you finally face the wrath of everything you have done
I hope you feel the pain of what you inflicted on us in tenfold
The psychological horror
That you forced us to endure
The inhumane treatment just because of our skin colour
To be full of hate, is to be extremely miserable
Because the insecurities you feel will be the cause of your imminent downfall
