Black or White
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
