Black and White

I am white

or am I Black?

what really confines that?

should I vote for Donald Trump, or Hillary Clinton

but the question is what really am I missing?

Should we build a wall and kick all the Mexicans out?

or what about isis? tell me, Do you think its right for them to **** the Americans?

We are home of the free, the land that will be

fighting for our safety and the right to flee

if I cannot walk outside without getting shot

then I might as well not walk up the block

African Americans say black lifes matter

but dont all lifes matter?

You complain about the KKK but what about the black panthers? are these really answers?

cant we all just get along? before we all die alone? This isn't about racism this is about fact

you cant delete history but you try that

you vandalize national monuments in hope to spread the word but all your doing is looking absurd.

Im not singling out anyone

even what the whites have done

with their tiki torches held up high

thinking that can get by

chanting chanting chanting words of disgust

one day they will all give up
