For some reason it seems that the people who most often attack racism, intolerance and bigotry, always embody those exact words.

"It's easy to die but it's not easy to live."
-D.E.T
Tyranny oppression with the help of force and coercion
Social animals have degraded humans down to animals  
With the faces and hearts of hypocrites with the assertion
The devils present themselves in the garb of sacred angels

On the name of human rights they ****,****** humanity
This is how for their heinous designs they play ***** tricks
They keep humans in their vested chains by declaring free
Their forts are constructed as bulwark with human bricks

Humanity ,humanity is but in shackles of hunters like hounds
Life has become a source of bargain and just fun in front of guns
Vicious in their circles **** blood and eat flesh on all grounds
To cover their sins, crimes they celebrate the day as champions

Guns
Slick metallic
Fully loaded sidekicks
A right held higher than most

Opinions vary, more or less
For laws and restrictions
For availability and freedom

A country divided, a hot topic debate
And while you ponder your side of the fence
Remember that the leaders and lawmakers
Prefer prayer as a means to relieve such tragedies

There is no plan to change how things are
There is no answer from the left
There is no answer from the right
Accepting complacency and prayers

Prayers, which have done nothing, not a thing at all.

Democracy is a funny thing
It works for some, but not for all

Lovely when it works for you
When your voice that matters

But a **** shame, when it doesn't
To be at the whim of a majority

A majority who had to vote
Against owning another human being

A majority that said well
Unless you're in prison, then its alright

A majority who said
Being black without a job is a criminal offense

A majority who refused to hire
And who paid next to nothing

A majority who finally agreed for women to vote
Finally an opportunity for them to speak

A majority who said sure minorites you too
But that voice doesn't matter

A majority that makes a the rules
And a minority that has to wait

Wait for a time when its okay
For the majority to give up power

Wait for a time when enough is enough
But until then I'll scream my silent scream

The voiceless will topple towers
And remember it was you who
Silenced them.

Every right denied; every dream deferred
Every injustice and indignity endured
Is one more paper cut
They are cumulative
And deadly as any gun or knife
This is written in the days follwing the American election.  Please do not stand silent; do not turn a blind eye and a deaf ear whie the rights of dispossed and marginalized communities are "Trumpled!"

This is for all my brothers and sisters in the black community, the Hispanic community, the Muslim community, the disabled community and the LGB community...and MOST ESPECIALLY for my sisters and brothers in the transgender community.  Tomorrow is Transgender Day Of Remembrance.  Please hold us in your thoughts and your hearts as we grieve those dear sisters and brothers taken from us in the past year by violence based on hate.

You mistake my tears for sadness,
Instead of lakes of rage

As I scream in defiance,
against the status quo

You fall in line with the masses,
And you are now my foe

Whether in opposition, or the silent approach,
You've spoken volumes, to disenfranchised folks

Is ignorance your anthem,
Or is your lack of caring a joke

Blind eyes or indifference,
Cities go up in smoke

A pattern to repeat itself,
Until false realities are broke

The time for waiting is over,
We've pulled off racism's cloak

With us or against us,
Its time the people woke.

Faith belongs to those who are not blind
To sight the light and darkness
When the light's fade
All you are left is with darkness
Because 'tween the light there was always the darkness

So a person is gay, so they have to "have their way"
With a simple ring,  pizza or cake, a legal wedding day,
Doing things that straight people do everyday.
So a person is black, so they have to "vandalize,"
Even if in a decent non-violence as they demonstrate.
Remove the "threat," gang up on them even if
"Black Lives Matter" is all they were there to say.
So a person is an anti-war hippie, don't listen to them,
Instead go to war EVERY time and "make the world
A better place," especially for our children!
So a person is eccentric, "a dreamer," they have no right-of-way,
You're in this so-called free country,
Leave all of your dreams, your goals, your hopes
At home or take them to another MORE LIBERAL
Country to stay.
