1.
The nightly broadcasts, Their faces fill your eyes And yet you can’t see how Power serves to victimize The growing reports, Met with banality This is not a new norm It’s festered for centuries Don’t forget to flinch When the blood hits the screen Don’t let it cloud your vision Of the American dream These filthy streets Never were paved in gold But baptized in blood As the cases go cold How long, Will you succumb to apathy? Signaling virtue, For all eyes to see Measuring life, In hollow apologies Nows the time to rise And purge this disease
2.
Thick smoke engulfs The protest lines Servants of greed March in time The swine have shown Where they stand Through violent disregard Towards their fellow man Is this justice upheld? Protecting and serving self Denying due process On the streets Sentencing death What’s the market price Of human breath? What entitled you To reap it from their chest No clearer effigy Of those oppressed Than a tyrants knee On a fucking neck They write the reports, To blur the truth See how things change When it’s their necks In the noose You see the bodies on the screen Refuse to acknowledge what it means A society desensitized Lulled to sleep By white lies Claim there was no bias When you looked into their face Lie that your actions Weren’t carried out in hate Could you feel the fear When you looked into their eyes? Did you feel superior When you took their lives?
3.
These twisted branches Matured from blood soaked roots And bore a yield Of most bitter fruits You can hear them marching From fucking miles away Armed with talk of birthrights And their forefathers slurs The hate of the father Inherited by the son The white hoods of old are exchanged For the badge and a gun The world watches As you play victim across the stage A coward in royal blue While another’s in their grave Coward in royal blue Did you make your father proud? Did you uphold his legacy Traditions of atrocities.
4.
The scapegoat image Of white hoods in the night Circle illuminated In the burning cross’s light This beast has far deadlier heads Hiding right in plain sight The worshippers of nine to five The Clerics, Suits and Ties This is how it’s always been Deception sown By wealthy men So concerned with where the boot treads You fall into opposing sides All the while hidden hands Serve to maintain the divide. Do you find comfort in blindness? Complacent in Sycophancy
