I can no longer be silent as my eyes see the terror of the world
I see innocents killed in the streets
I hear those cry and scream for justice and change
I know those that have been damage reach out to find a solution
I sympathize with those that have done nothing who are looked down on

I fear not only no change but too much change to soon
I can no longer stay silent while people die for no cause
I can no longer hear those who think this is all for nothing
I can no longer see those that have point of views the align with injustice
I can no longer except knowledge to justify these hateful acts
I can no longer be silent as I fear for my children
I can no longer be silent as I fear for my wife
I can no longer be silent as I fear for my life

I am supposed to feel protected by protect and serve
I am supposed to feel comfortable by those in blue
I am supposed to trust those who are put in place to be trusted
I can no longer be silent as you **** those of color
I can no longer accept racist thoughts or action
I can no longer hear comply or die
I can no longer connect with those that see this as acceptable

I will no longer be silent
