Ferguson, Missouri What can

Ferguson, Missouri 

What can I say, there's always some story.

How many people are killed each day by their race or another?

How many people are raped, murdered, used, by every color?

People don't realize it's not just whites against blacks,

blacks on whites, Russians on Ukrainians, shooting each other's backs.

Why is it only these stories that make the news? 

The media just seems to pick and choose.

What will be more controversial today? 

What more games can we play?

Theres a two sided story, it's not just one side.

People are ruining buisinesses, piliaging and raiding away their cities pride. 

Police have duty to protect and family to love.

They have loved ones watching from above.

So at this point who's been more brutal,

Those who wage war or those who claim they are neutral? 

No one knows the truth, and no one can tell.

There's been so much tragedy in the world, more tragic times have fell.

America stands for one country, the land of the free,

but right now, who in the hell are we trying to be?
