The world has been silent
As aeons of racism continue each day
If it's a joke to whoever does it
It's not funny and never was
The citizens feel the sense of alienation
That's where they were born and raised
And lived to the dogma they found
They never chose to be black and hold a colour seen to inhabit a criminal
Their laughs went thunderous when a law that would fight for their rights was put in place
Instead it became a wall so high to climb and hard to break
That separated the races
So their faith in tomorrow fades
How will America be great when all these injustices are subtle
Each year we are aggrieved and new wounds to old scars cut open
The protests won't stop till a change comes
Nothing to allay them or bring our calm back
The jury keeps acquitting the police officers of all charges
This ain't happening for the first time
The question is "When will it stop?"
We need a spirit of harambee to fight this evil that found a home in the racists' hearts
We learned that life has no comic heroes to fight for us
We'll fight for ourselves
Do we have a halon to stop the wild fire from spreading and burning up the world
Yes we do
We have voices to speak.
