I got an empathy infection
with a heart that won’t stop
burning inside of me
while the rest of humanity
goes on laughing and smiling.

I got tears of sorrow
that split my body in two
leaving me more than enough pain
to share with you.

Cause, I have been reading
listening and pleading
while strangers were crying
screaming and begging
watching their loved one’s bleeding.

But you are not seeing
what I have seen
cause you blinded yourself intentionally,
becoming separated by skin distinctions,
modern segregation that is a
pale imitations of old school **** clicks.

And any one not white American
can eat your ****.
Well, I’ve been swallowing it,
wallowing in the horrors you allowed.

But the vengeance demon inside of me
wants to bloom and see
you reap the pain you have sown.
