It happens every time A person is killed Simply cause of their color And people try to care But then they divide Some see the dead as they were Others see them as a **** People fight to defend the killer While we struggle to keep ourselves alive Everyday it just gets worse We die People mourn Argue the systematic oppression Of a White Male dominant society Try to fight the system But move on from this fight Due to the light distractions Of media perception and illusion

Late Night Thoughts
It happens every time A person is killed Simply cause of their color And people try to care But then they divide Some see the dead as they were Others see them as a **** People fight to defend the killer While we struggle to keep ourselves alive Everyday it just gets worse We die People mourn Argue the systematic oppression Of a White Male dominant society Try to fight the system But move on from this fight Due to the light distractions Of media perception and illusion
