How blood flows


How Blood Flows

 

Blood flows

Just like tears flows

And love flows

 

Rooted in pain

It streams from its source

Consistently

With force

Persistently

 

As it drips down

In rhythmic pattern

Puddles round

As Saturn

 

It’s a song

That’s rings through city

And for so long

There’s been nothing but pity

 

Each drop that drips

Is a beat

That you can slip

On your feet

 

And as it flows

Streaming

Just as the pain grows

You can hear the high pitched ear screeching screaming

 

This is your reality

You know you're not dreaming

About this brutality

From the police that are deceiving
