That's a feeling

A man shot dead
attempting to stop
the **** of a woman he didn't know

That's a feeling

A man not getting a job
because "He Was Mexican"
even though he grew up in Maine

That's a feeling

A father's gay son
crying at his funeral
even though he was never loved

That's a feeling

If we can't get it from the Court
then we'll take it from the Streets
No Justice, No Peace
**** the Police
and what you believe!

Whatever happened to Revolution
Being the American way?
When your voice remains unheard
For which you suffer every day,
Your life is constantly stepped on,
Your rights keep getting taken away,
And in spite of the lies they spin to protect your oppressors,
You still keep the rage at bay
Because you are not
Above the Law
and neither is anyone else.
So taking matters into your own hands
Isn't going to help.
You entrust the justice system
to do what it's supposed to
Even though you know it never has
and is probably never going to.
But if you haven't done anything wrong and the Law doesn't serve you,
and only seems to defend the people who've already hurt you,
then honestly I think it's insane and completely absurd to
not only expect the People not to react,
but to honor a *curfew
.

*******
Do you hear us yet?
*******
Oh, it's inappropriate?
You don't wanna talk about it?
You don't wanna think about it?
You don't wanna deal with it?
Well guess what?
Nobody ******* does, nobody ******* would, nobody ever ******* could.
But for the people who don't look like you -
Aryan Beauty Standards
Hair of Gold, Eyes of Blue
Fair-skinned, light-skinned
European skeleton,
It was never a choice they had.

Oppression doesn't pick you
Based on qualifications
Any more than Privilege does,
If you think this case
Is not about race
You better check your Privilege, cuz.

I love my home, America
But I hate what it's become
Land of the greedy, home of the afraid
Kingdom of the Loud and Dumb
****-shaming, victim-blaming, race-hating, race-baiting
Sensationalization of the worst crimes in the nation
Religious intolerance, homophobic misogyny, blatant racial discrimination
Can't get with it, can't hang
At least not in the lynch mob sense
I am blown the **** away
at the grievous absence of common sense.

So when they lit those flags on fire
in the center of the town
I understand, and I can't blame them
the flag is truer up in flames now
And if they so decide to burn
the city to the ground,
I understand, and I can't blame them
I would wanna burn it down

*No Justice, No Peace
If we can't get it from the Court
then we'll take it from the Streets
No Justice, No Peace
**** the Police
and **** your Beliefs!
This is about what you think.

I am trapped by my body
Restricted by my skin
You told me not to worry
In this body I don't fit in
I am stuck inside my thoughts
It gets worse day by day
You told me to call all the shots
But I am molded out of clay
Enlisted in you army
Like I don't even exist
You try your best to calm me
But I still persist
I will not let you trap me
I will not enlist
One day you will regret the day
That you let me do this
In my hand there are some pills
I sob as I down 20
I lay down on my bathroom floor
When I close my eyes it stops
Charlie Dragon May 2017
People are tip toeing around me,
I am a bomb waiting to go off.
Unstable,
One false move and I will blow.
Disappointment,
That's my new name as I succeed nothing.
I am on a park bench,
I blew up,
I killed all those I love.
I sit as a tear falls down my cheek,
I sob in silence hoping that someone will find me,
I need help, no one responds to my cry,
They walk past me ask me how I am,
"I'm not fine" I don't say,
Instead I say,
"It's nothing"
Tonight I run home.
Steam fogs up the window as I run a warm bath,
I cry out for help but no one can hear me,
I explode.
I bring the razor to my wrist,
There is no pain as I am numb,
Blood runs into the bath,
I scream for help but no one comes,
One more cut on the other wrist,
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
Then I see nothing.
