Complex S.I.C

Strife wields the knife after your rifles raise high, No need for a biblical sign since it takes only a few to steal the spot-light And only one to spoil a life, The notions of potentially prospering a home, Planting a peaceful place, Where pigmentation does not define your days, But the way in which you prove yourself, Because this is truly an extraordinary species, Hindered by man’s inherent ignorance, An internal enemy described as grace, Barbarians breeding thieves, Inhibited from sanity, Inebriated with fury, Incubated in hatred, As you continually cultivate such cruel beings, Some individuals can defy the trend, Some of Adam’s relatives rose because they knew the knuckles could do so much more than listen to a serpent, From their roots of savagery, It’s in the blood to be a parasite, But it is in the genes to eradicate these devilish deeds, Imaging the possibility like a dead-head hippy, The chance to see a society, Distancing itself from the armory, Poverty pushes people to find relief via a knife, Causing those governing eye’s to raise their rifles high, Forgetting to sight the white of their eyes, And turning bystanders into enemies.
